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.

Another successful dog transport is in the books! 🐾

Our dedicated volunteers, Dave K and Dave G, started the day bright and early in Kentucky, heading north with a crew of 29 deserving pups on board. Their journey led them safely to One of A Kind Pet Rescue and Geauga Mama Dogs and Pups, where they can begin the next chapter of their lives.

Among the passengers were Edgar and four of his housemates, who were removed from a heartbreaking hoarding situation in Kentucky. Shortly after being rescued, all five dogs were diagnosed with Parvo and required hospitalization. It was a difficult road, but the dedicated team at Kentucky Saving Them Together, Inc. fought tirelessly for them and never gave up.

After receiving the medical care they desperately needed and making full recoveries, these resilient pups were finally ready for a fresh start. We were honored to be a small part of their journey and help transport them to safety at One of A Kind Pet Rescue.

From surviving neglect and serious illness to getting a second chance at life, Edgar and his friends have already overcome so much. Today marks the beginning of a brighter future filled with hope, healing, and the promise of loving forever homes.

A huge thank you to team Daves for spending 2 days on the road making this transport possible, and to every rescue, volunteer, and supporter who helped these dogs get where they are today. ❤️🐾🚐

Can’t get much cuter than this pup crew of 29. 🐾 From Kentucky Saving Them Together, Inc. to Geauga Mama Dogs and Pups and One of A Kind Pet Rescue in Ohio, it was a day full of adventure, road rescue, wagging tails, and lots of love along the way.

After many hours on the road, every single pup is now safe, resting comfortably, and beginning the next chapter of their journey toward loving homes and brighter futures.

These transports are more than just a ride, they are a second chance. Each mile traveled helps relieve overcrowded shelters and gives these dogs the opportunity to find the families they’ve been waiting for.

A huge thank you goes out to our incredible volunteers, Gene and Dave, who spent countless hours driving over the past two days to make this lifesaving transport possible. Your dedication, compassion, and willingness to go the extra mile truly changed 29 lives. ❤️🚐

🐾 Miles to Safety 🚐

Today, our amazing volunteer drivers are heading to Kentucky to transport 29 dogs from overcrowded shelters to safety and a fresh start.

Every mile brings them closer to loving homes, warm beds, full bellies, and the families they deserve while also helping relieve the strain on shelters that are struggling with overcrowding.

But these lifesaving transports come with rising fuel costs, and we need your help to keep the wheels turning. Every donation, no matter the size, helps us continue saying “yes” to animals in need.

Kicking off the month of May doing what we love most, saving lives and creating new beginnings. ❤️🐾

From Kentucky Saving Them Together, Inc., to Vet Tech Institute - Pittsburgh, PA, 19 dogs and 13 cats made their way to safety and just in time, as one of the cats began giving birth to her kittens as they arrived.

We’re so grateful for the volunteer drivers today, Julie and Stacey, along with our rescue partners, and supporters who make moments like this possible.
