We receive rescue dogs from other countries into Chicago with the assistance of flight volunteers or flight buddies. These are people who allow dogs to travel with them on their return flight from overseas into Chicago. The benefit of dogs traveling with a passenger are immense.
They have an escort and they save travel cost of over $1,000 per dog in most cases. It is a critical part of ISDF being able to continue to save lives of street dogs around the world. If we have miles we could use to help some of the flight volunteers manage overall cost of transporting the dogs it means more lives saved! Please contact Dawn at 414-426-4148 if you have miles you can contribute or if you are simply taking a flight from overseas with your first point of arrival being ORD and are willing to help us transport dogs and save lives.
