SUCCESS STORIES!
At CARES AK, we believe in the power of success stories. Our mission is to create a kinder, more compassionate world for animals through the power of story-telling. We are a nonprofit organization that provides a canine adoption and foster program to help homeless and neglected animals find forever homes. Through our success stories, we hope to highlight the positive impacts that rescue efforts can have on animals, their new families, and the community. We invite you to read our stories and to consider becoming part of the CARES AK family.
"The Oregon 5"
The Mission:
Rescuing Five Heeler/ Crosses that travelled from Texas to Oregon.
The Plane:
A Pilatus 12 - a private eleven passenger plane, fixed wing. Capable of travelling at 290 kts/hour and up to 30,000’ fully pressurised.
The Destination:
CARES in Wasilla, Alaska.
CARES flew to Portland, and made arrangements to board the dogs for two days before collecting them to head to Hillsborough and fly them back to Anchorage with a stopover in Sitka. You’ll see you when you look through the pictures that it was a brilliant day and even south central or south east was clear in fact it was beautiful in Sitka. We got all the dogs out and walked/ watered them and then reloaded them up.
