When Coonhound Companions found out that TRIXIE, a beautiful redbone coonhound, was on death row at a shelter in Fort Worth, they posted her story on the Pilots N Paws website.

Pilots N Paws is an online meeting place for those who rescue, shelter or foster animals, and pilots and plane owners willing to assist with the transportation of animals. Although they don’t coordinate or arrange those providing these valuable services, they provide the environment in which those involved can come together in a common place and arrange or schedule rescue flights, overnight foster care or shelter and all other related activities.

With the help of DaisyCares‘ Board Member and pilot, Dr. Scott Henslee, TRIXIE was rescued from Fort Worth and flown to a no-kill shelter in Pipe Creek so she could be adopted by a loving family. Trixie was a super sweet dog, was very well mannered and didn’t make a peep the entire flight. If Scott had not rescued her, she would have been euthanized the next day, but now she thankfully has a second chance at life!
