Pilots To The Rescue

Lights, camera, action! 🎥 Still can’t believe we teamed up with @sleepnumber  for this incredible commercial! 🌟 Our founder and one of our dedicated volunteer pilots showcased not just the power of a good night’s sleep, but the passion and dedication behind every rescue mission we embark on. 🐾 Spreading awareness for overcrowded shelters and the heart-driven purpose of our nonprofit has never felt so surreal! 🚁✨ Have you caught our commercial on Roku TV yet? Let us know! As  @CNN  aptly captured: “When animal rescue pilots Michael and Michaella travel hundreds of miles to rescue animals, they need quality sleep to fly the distance.” - Content by Sleep Number 💤🛌

We’re proud to introduce the furry stars of our new docuseries! 🌟 These rescued dogs and cats made filming this project even more fun and meaningful. A huge shoutout to Mt Pleasant Animal Shelter for collaborating with us on this shoot and showing up in such a big way. Mt. Pleasant is one of our most dedicated rescue partners, and we’re so grateful for everything they do to help get animals into furever homes. Here’s the TRUE story behind the series: These animals were recently flown to safety by Pilots To The Rescue after being saved from euthanasia—arriving at Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter where they were prepped, cared for, and matched with loving adopters. Now, with everything in place, they were en route to begin their new lives—until an urgent call changed everything. You can watch how it all unfolds in our 5-part micro series, now live at https://lnkd.in/gAHrVv_7 Let us know which furry cast member is your fav—and don’t forget to like, comment, and share to help us inspire more people to adopt, not shop. #HappyNationalPetDay 🐾 #AnimalRescue #AdoptDontShop #PilotsToTheRescue #DogRescue #CatRescue #PetAdoption #AnimalShelter #RescueMission #Docuseries #BehindTheScenes #PetCast #ForeverHome #PetDay #NationalPetDay Ari Wilhelm NiteLite Pictures Harry Lowell Michael Schneider Cheryl Martinez Animal Planet Pets National Geographic Netflix
