The first leg will be from Florida to Ohio to deliver 3 greyhounds. The 3 other greyhounds are bound for Canada and will be flying to Michigan. The great people at Greyhound Pets of America – Canada will be meeting us at an airport near Detroit to pick up our first international greyhound travelers. Flight updates will be posted to our Facebook page and website. Donors and sponsors are needed! Please consider donating a few dollars to help defray flight costs, or become a sponsor by contributing $100 and help a dog reach his/her forever home!

While we wait patiently for the weather to improve, plans are being made for our next round of transport flights. The Brave Tide ambassadors are ready to trade the snow piles and cold temperatures for green grass and warm afternoons.

The pilots are ready to get back to flying and we know families are looking forward to welcoming their new four-legged family members. Our next round of transport flights are being planned for late April. We will post passenger photos and flight information when the trips are confirmed.

As we look back on a memorable 2014, there were a number of flights that stood out due to amazing scenery, outstanding airport service, and wonderful 4-legged passengers. Below are a few photos from those trips. We are looking forward to transporting more animals and getting our educational outreach programs off the ground in 2015. Thank you to all of our supporters for your generosity and contributions to our organization!

The Brave Tide plane is safe and sound in the hangar at our home airport. The runway resurfacing project is well underway, and we are looking forward to trying out the newly paved runway soon. Here are a few photos from last week prior to repaving. We will post a few more photos of the progress soon!

We need your help. Please share with friends, family, and animal welfare groups!

Brave Tide transported over 70 animals in only 3 months in early 2014. We were on pace to transport well over 200 animals in 2014 to their forever homes! Over the past 4 months, you have probably noticed that our flight operations have been on hold. We didn’t want to post specifics until we had a complete picture to share with our supporters.

We upgraded the avionics with the goal of making the plane as safe as possible. To our shock and disappointment, the work was not done correctly. We have been working for the past 4 months to get the many issues created by the incorrect installation fixed. It has not only caused dozens of postponed and cancelled flights, but fixing the issues has also cost thousands of dollars. Much of our financial reserve has been exhausted during the process and we have arrived at a point that we need to reach out for help. In order to resume transport flights, we need to raise money. Donations can be made via PayPal or by check. We know that many of our current supporters have previously donated and sponsored dogs. That is why we are asking you to share with friends, family members, animal welfare groups, and businesses so that we can get back in the air as soon as possible. We also have sponsor opportunities available. Information about the sponsor program is available on the sponsor page: Sponsors
