Pilots for Paws
Pilots for Paws consists of a group of dedicated pilots who volunteer their time and airplane to transport rescue dogs from a shelter or rescue to the location where they will be placed in foster care until adopted.
The Humane Society works closely with several groups to insure placement of our homeless pets. One such organization is Lab Rescue of Florida. Linda Mau, owner/operator, has been of tremendous help to us over the past couple of years. She has accepted and found homes for countless Labradors that we often times have great difficulty finding homes for.
The Adoption Center was inundated with black dogs over the holidays so Florida Lab Rescue was contacted and arrangements made for 9 black Lab puppies and one young adult Lab to be picked up by Pilots for Paws and transported to Tampa where they will go directly into foster care before being adopted.
There will be 2 separate trips made to pick up our pets. One will occur this week in Marianna and the second in Apalachicola when the youngest pups are 8 weeks old. If you would like to witness this pick-up, please call us and we will let you know the day and time.
Thank you Linda Mau for all you continue to do for the Labs of Franklin County!
The Franklin County Humane Society is a not for profit facility nestled in the woods at the edge of the Tate's Hell National Forest, a little over a mile from the Gulf of Mexico. We have been in existence since 1991. We were born of the desire & hard work initiated by Veterinarian, Dr. Hobson Fulmer, to have a facility that could better the lives of our many homeless animals. We continue to grow and improve our services to better care for the many homeless and unwanted pets that come into our shelter. Providing safe haven, medical care, food and loving attention until our pets are adopted is our primary goal. We are a non-profit organization operating in Franklin County, Florida. Our mission is to relieve animal suffering, prevent animal cruelty, eliminate animal over population, promote humane education and to enhance the human to animal bond.
