Pilots N Paws, a non-profit organization dedicated to connecting volunteer pilots with animal transportation needs, is sponsoring a mass flyway of over one hundred dogs from St. Louis to Lakeville, MN on March 1. General aviation pilots from around the region are invited to fly these rescues for adoption into loving homes.
