Paws N Pilots is a volunteer and networking program that provides air transport of rescue dogs to their new homes.

Downtown Island Home airport located in South Knox participates in the program. Retired Northwest Airlines pilot Jim Carney volunteers his time and flying skills as a captain flying his personal airplane of newly adopted pets that may have been otherwise euthanized.

?Paws N Pilots is a wonderful program because we are helping save the lives of these animals by flying them to their new families. As volunteer pilots we retain complete authority of planning the rescued pets flights and we really enjoy helping,? explained Captain Carney.
