No Dog Left Behind

No Dog Left Behind We are a group of animal lovers providing free transportation for at-risk animals. We also connect with other pilots to run legs of much longer flights.

No Dog Left Behind (formerly Pittsburgh Aviation Animal Rescue Team) coordinates and transports thousands of animals to their new homes free of charge. Leaving from the No Dog Left Behind Headquarters at the Allegheny County Airport in West Mifflin, PA, our single-engine Mahindra Airvan can fly up to 160 mph and average flights consist of 150 to 300 nautical miles each way, allowing us to serve th

e areas of Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Akron, Erie, Harrisburg, Charleston, WV, and more. Our land operation consists of a Ford Transit van that can transport up to 40 animals at a time, more than 1,000 miles each direction. No Dog Left Behind is networked with shelters, pet adoption services, and national transportation organizations who let us know of the need for a pet rescue transport. We act as quickly as we can to get ready for the flight because sometimes timing can mean life and death. When we are not flying or driving, we are working to coordinate and receive donations of food and animal supplies to fill our empty planes with to drop off at shelters and other rescue centers. Every little bit counts. No Dog Left Behind is also involved in a growing Community Outreach initiative that we began in 2012. Over the last few years, No Dog Left Behind has hosted school-aged children at the Allegheny Airport for learning sessions about animal rescue and aviation. Our unique blend of both animals and aviation acts a catalyst to spark the interest in children to inspire them to become more aware of the need for animal protection. Our volunteers are available to speak to the community on ongoing basis. Even though fuel and plane maintenance is expensive,No Dog Left Behind does not charge either party for the transportation of the animals. We get our payment by knowing we are helping deserving animals get to their loving homes and look forward to serving many more in the future. In November of 2013, we received our 501 (c) 3 non-profit status and set out on our goal of raising funds to buy a larger, more fuel efficient plane. A better fleet of aircrafts will enable No Dog Left Behind to expand our reach to include further distances while carrying a greater number of animals and supplies.

Our team will be transporting this special group next week! 🐾❤️

So much happens behind the scenes before these animals ever climb into our van and begin their journey to new beginnings. From coordinating rescues and preparing the animals to organizing drivers, it truly takes a team to make each transport possible.

Your support makes a difference. Every like, comment, and share helps spread the word, reach more people, and bring more awareness to the animals who need us.

The animals thank you. 🐾
And the entire rescue team thanks you for being part of their journey. ❤️

🚨 40 LIVES NEED YOUR HELP TO LEAVE KENTUCKY! 🚨

They already have rescue placement waiting… we just need help getting them there. 🙏

🐾 40 animals. 40 chances. One trip to a better life. 🐾

Yesterday’s road rescue brought 30 dogs and 8 cats one step closer to finding their forever homes. ❤️🐾

Our first stop was One of A Kind Pet Rescue, followed by Geauga Mama Dogs and Pups.

This crew included dogs of all sizes and ages, along with Mama Daisy and her 10 puppies. That’s one busy mama!

But one of the sweetest moments of the day happened in Kentucky.

While our team was loading the animals from Kentucky Saving Them Together, Inc. they met Laura and her husband. They were interested in learning more about No Dog Left Behind and were there when the puppies arrived. Laura immediately fell in love with one of the pups. ❤️

After completing the application process and speaking with Geauga Mama Dogs and Pups, Laura was approved to adopt her new family member! 🥰🐾 Soon, these two will officially be a family.

A huge thank you to everyone who made this journey possible, and especially to our drivers Dave and Gene for getting this crew safely where they needed to go.

Kentucky bound! 🚐🐾

We’re heading out to pick up this crew and more in the morning for their road rescue north. Another long journey, another group of lives headed toward safety and a second chance.

32 cats and kittens made their way from Dream Away Cat Rescue in West Virginia to Providence Animal Center, and each one has a story of their own.

🐾 Socks & Little Buddy are 2-year-old bonded siblings who get to take this journey together.

🐾 Salty & Erin, two devoted cat moms traveling alongside their kittens.

🐾 Reese, who was bound to be the escape artist of the bunch! She put the team at Providence to the test, but thankfully, she couldn’t outsmart them. 😹

Tonight, everyone is settled in with a good dinner, a comfy spot, and a chance to relax after their journey. ❤️

Now they’re getting ready for the next chapter of finding their forever homes and the families they’ve been waiting for.

Another 32 lives safely transported, and another step toward brighter futures.

With a weekend with no scheduled transports, our team decided to spend some time at Misfits Coven, a nonprofit animal sanctuary and wildlife habitat located in Greene County, Pennsylvania.

Misfits Coven rescues and cares for at-risk animals while advocating for environmental protection, supporting micro-rescues, and promoting compassion for all beings. ❤️

It was wonderful to spend time learning more about the incredible work they’re doing and seeing firsthand the love and dedication that goes into giving animals a safe place to heal and thrive.

Rescue doesn’t always mean being on the road. Sometimes it means supporting one another, and celebrating the people and organizations working every day to make a difference.

Thank you, Misfits Coven, for welcoming our team and for everything you do for animals and our environment.

Dora and many more sweet souls were transported by our team to the Anna Shelter in June.

The Anna Shelter is an amazing organization dedicated to rehabilitating animals who have come from some truly heartbreaking and horrible conditions. They give these animals the care, patience, love, and second chance they so deserve.

We’re incredibly grateful to be a small part of their journey to safety and a brighter future. ❤️🐾

20,000 ANIMALS TRANSPORTED TO SAFETY! 🐾❤️

Today, we reached a milestone we will never forget…our 20,000th animal was transported to safety!

And what better way to celebrate than with 39 pups aboard our van, making the journey from Kentucky Saving Them Together, Inc. to new beginnings with One of A Kind Pet Rescue and Geauga Mama Dogs and Pups 🐶

Among them are two mom dogs, Molly and DeeDee, traveling with their young pups, 13 in total. There are also many sibling groups, dogs of all ages, and so many sweet faces ready for the next chapter of their lives and the forever homes they deserve. 🏡

Reaching 20,000 animals is something we could never have done alone.
