Meet Michael Schneider, the compassionate founder of 'Pilots To The Rescue '. Since 2014, Michael has been on a mission to save homeless pets, just like these two adorable pups from the Friends of Grenada Animal Shelter in Mississippi. In this collaborative mission with the Bissell Pet Foundation, Michael picked up 10 dogs in Fletcher, North Carolina, and flew them back to our home base of Essex County Airport in northern New Jersey, where the dogs were received by the Broome County Humane Society in Binghamton, New York.

Every year, approximately 920,000 homeless pets (390,000 dogs and 530,000 cats) are euthanized in the United States, primarily because of a lack of space. Pilots To The Rescue coordinates with rescue facilities all over the U.S. to find space for dogs and cats abandoned or returned to animal shelters by their previous owners. By transporting pets to available shelters by air, we put them in a position to quickly find new homes and loving families.

Pilots To The Rescue (PTTR) is a non-profit, volunteer-driven, 501c3 public benefit aviation organization. Our mission is to prevent homeless pets from being euthanized and give them the best possible chance at a better life.

Do you want to help save the lives of dogs and cats all over the United States? Pilots To The Rescue’s work is sustained by the dedication of our incredible donors, partners, and volunteers. We absolutely mean it when we say that every donation - no matter the size - makes a difference in how many lives we can save.

Dog Arthritis Injection Treatment

Dr. Bob Menardi, Chief Veterinary Officer with Exubrion Therapeutics discusses the benefit of Synovetin OA®. Synovetin OA® targets dog arthritis at its source for up to one full year of pain relief. Synovetin OA® is a completely different arthritis treatment that acts on the driver of the disease itself—inflammation—not just symptoms. That means pain relief today that lasts up to one full year AND the potential to prevent future pain by delaying the joint damage that’s caused by inflammation as it gets worse over time.

Dr. Menardi worked in private clinical practice for 12 years after graduating from Colorado State University in 1990 with his DVM degree. Prior to joining Exubrion, Dr. Menardi served in multiple leadership roles in the animal health industry. He leads the company's comprehensive veterinary technical education and outreach programs and serves as the subject matter expert for members of the veterinary profession. He frequently consults with clinical and academic veterinarians on the use of radiosynoviorthesis for the treatment of osteoarthritis. He also heads the pharmacovigilance functions at Exubrion Therapeutics. Since 2002, his areas of responsibility have included technical marketing, field veterinary services, veterinary operations and professional development, biologics marketing, and pharmacovigilance. Dr. Menardi is a pet parent to Romeo, a geriatric Schnauzer, Starla, a young Australian Shepherd whose main goal in life is to antagonize the schnauzer, and Echo, a Green-cheeked Conure parrot, who is definitely the alpha member of the household.
