A Second Chance is Just a Flight or Road Trip Away
As Adopt-a-Cat Month begins, Robin recaps last week’s dramatic transport of hundreds of cats and dogs from rural Virginia and Alabama to new forever homes in New York and Florida. Joining her are Debi Boies, the co-founder of Pilots N Paws, who coordinated 10 of her volunteer pilots and their airplanes as part of the transport, and Paul Raybould, American Humane Association’s Chief Innovation Officer who was there for every step of the journey and has many tales to tell from the road and air.
