ADOPT, FOSTER OR HELP THEM TRAVEL

Volunteer as a rescue animal flight buddy

An existing journey may help a rescued animal reach a safe home. A flight buddy offers to accompany an animal when the route, airline and arrangements make that possible.

MOMENTS FROM OUR RESCUE ARCHIVE

Start with the trip you are already planning

Send the team your departure and arrival cities, approximate dates, airline if known and any connections. Tell us whether the booking is confirmed or still flexible. You do not need to book a new trip to make an enquiry.

We check whether there is a suitable match

The team considers the animal, destination, route and practical arrangements with you. An animal being ready to travel does not guarantee a place on your flight. Airline acceptance and the arrangements for that specific journey must be checked.

Know the responsibilities before agreeing

Discuss the animal’s care, carrier, documents, airport handover, arrival collection and who covers each cost. Ask what support is available if the itinerary changes. Do not add an animal to a booking before the team has agreed the plan with you.

Share only the information needed to start

Use the flight buddy enquiry form for your route, dates and questions. Please do not send passport copies, booking references or payment details in the initial form. Any necessary documents can be discussed separately.

Not travelling yourself?

Share this page with someone who already has a journey planned. Adoption, fostering and support for care are other ways to help the animals waiting for a home.
