JOIN OUR PACK!
Operation Paw Lift was launched in 2005, when hurricane Katrina hit the mission is open to all pilots that own a plane and that have a love for animals.
Here is where you can use your aviation skills and aircraft to help animals that have been affected by a natural or man-made disaster.
Your mission would consist of assisting our search and rescue teams on the ground by airlifting pets from the disaster areas and transporting them to a safe destination.
At destination, you will be met by the parties taking in the animals and if they come into our organization (HPR), flights will be met by our ground volunteers.
Pilots in our program will not engage in search and rescue efforts unless they choose to do so.
Search and rescue of animals on the ground in the disaster areas is done by our team of highly trained search and rescue volunteers.
Having said that. extra hands are always needed when disaster strikes, so you are welcome to joiN in.
Pilots that do not wish to assist in airlifting animals can help in other ways. Transport of much needed supplies and equipment or transport of ground volunteers are two other areas of need.
We would be honored and grateful to have you join our pack and be part of our mission.
