Since this would be a long flight somewhat out of our way we were able to coordinate with another pilot based in Visalia who would fly Nova from Upland to Visalia on the 21st and we would pick her up there and return to Reno.

When we arrived in Visalia to meet the owner of the three puppies, she had caved in to her kids and would be keeping two of the puppies (just like my last rescue flight!), so we just had the one of the three and Rudy to transport.

On August 5th, 2024 I was able to scramble on short notice after I had an opening in my schedule to take care of this request posted on the Pilots-N-Paws website: https://www.pilotsnpaws.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=94788&p=448763#p448763


When I arrived in Bend, Oregon to meet with the owner who was sending them to the “Cleft Pup Brigade” in the Auburn, California area she informed me that she fell in love with one of the pups and only needed to send one to rescue – which was great!
