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 the 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.

Transport #2 made it home safely 🐾

After a very long day on the road to rescue, our second transport arrived late yesterday evening with 24 dogs and a mama cat with her 5 kittens! ❤️

Our drivers, Dave and Gene, safely brought this crew to Erie, PA, where multiple rescues were ready to welcome them and help them take the next steps toward brighter futures.

A huge thank you to everyone in Kentucky who worked together to give these animals a chance at a better life. It takes so many caring people working together to make these journeys possible! 🐶🐱

Our first transport of the day is complete!🐾

Our team met up with Kentucky Saving Them Together, Inc. in Lexington, an amazing group doing so much to help animals throughout Kentucky find loving homes and make their way on transports to new beginnings. ❤️

Our drivers, Dave and Scott, loaded up the crew and headed north to One of A Kind Pet Rescue and Geauga Mama Dogs and Pups, where everyone was ready to welcome the pups and get them settled in.

Tonight is all about full bellies, lots of love, and a good night’s sleep. 🐶💤 After a long day on the road, these pups can rest easy knowing they’re one step closer to the lives they deserve.

Tomorrow, their next chapter begins as they start their journey toward finding their forever homes!

All meows and lots of purrs on today’s cat transport! 🐾

Our feline crew traveled from Dream Away Cat Rescue in West Virginia to Providence Animal Center in Media, PA. It was a long day on the road, but the team was ready and waiting to welcome them when they arrived!

Now, everyone is settled in with full bellies, a cozy place to rest, and a good night’s sleep ahead.

Tomorrow begins a brand-new journey filled with love, care, and the hope of finding their very own forever homes. ❤️

Such a sweet girl. Our team transported her a few weeks ago. Shy and a bit unsure of what was happening but after a few minutes of pets and love she knew everything was going to be good ❤️🐾

We had such a wonderful time meeting so many amazing people and pups at the Paws on the Farm event yesterday ❤️
A huge thank you to Bedner's Farm and Greenhouse for hosting and bringing everyone together for such a special day.

We can’t thank everyone enough for the incredible support, kindness, and love you continue to show No Dog Left Behind.

We have 3 transports planned this week, and we’re ready to get more animals one step closer to their happily ever afters. 🏡

Thank you for being part of our journey.
