Pilots To The Rescue flies animals from SC to new beginnings up north
SUMMARY: Pilots To The Rescue transports animals from overcrowded South Carolina shelters to rescues in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, offering nearly 30 pets a fresh start. South Carolina shelters struggle with space and resources, unlike northern shelters that have better support systems, including spay/neuter programs and licensing requirements. Nationally, about 920,000 homeless pets are euthanized annually due to overcrowding. Founded in 2015 by a Brooklyn pilot, the organization has rescued over 4,000 animals in 10 years by flying them to regions with higher adoption chances. The effort involves community support, with volunteers and donors assisting in animal transport and care.

In a bid to alleviate overcrowding in local animal shelters, a rescue operation is transporting nearly 30 animals from the North Myrtle Beach Airport to new homes in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The initiative involves animals from the Horry County Animal Care Center, Williamsburg Animal Care and Control and Saint Frances Animal Center.
“In our area here in South Carolina, what we are doing is not working,” said Suzanne Roman of the South Carolina Rescue Collaboration. “All of our shelters are bursting at the seams with animals. They have few options for them, and recently we decided to team up and get together to try to share resources and opportunities so that there’s some relief for our local shelters.”
