A Life That Launched a Movement
In loving memory of Amelia, the rescued Great Dane who inspired our charity. She changed thousands of lives; now we honor hers.
We save at-risk pets by flying them off death row to rescues who find them loving forever families. We plan every flight to save as many animals as possible, and we use our wings to bring vet care where it is most needed. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of animals everywhere.
When our founders went to rescue a neglected Great Dane, she hopped right in their plane, ready for a ride to the sweet life. They named her Amelia after the great aviator, and her story launched a new journey to rescue more pets with planes. Today, she is the inspiration for Amelia Air, a nonprofit on a mission to fly shelter pets to freedom.
