At the end of the rescue mission, Modern Aviation's line service technicians at Francis Gabreski Airport in New York's Long Island unloaded cages of dogs headed to local animal welfare organizations for adoption.

FBO chain Modern Aviation sponsored an animal rescue mission last week to transport dogs from overcrowded southern animal shelters to New York, where they will have a better chance of adoption.

The mission was conducted by Pilots to the Rescue, a New York City-based nonprofit organization. “Millions of animals are euthanized simply because shelters don’t have enough space to care for them,” said Michael Schneider, the charity’s founder and head pilot. “By transporting pets to available shelters by air, we put them in position to quickly find new homes and loving families.”
