Meet a few of our Pilot Pups
Buttercup
When Team 600 rescued Buttercup, she was all alone on the outskirts of town, suffering from a severe wound on her mouth. The wound was infested with maggots … and she was in urgent need of care.
It took time for us to earn her trust, but we were eventually able to get her to the veterinarian for treatment. Thankfully, she is on a path to recovery. She is safe, happy, and enjoying life!
Cupcake
When Team 600 rescued Cupcake, she was living all alone at a garbage dump.
Among the piles of trash, a stranger noticed the frightened and starving dog. He called us, saying “she deserves a better life.”
She was malnourished and covered in grime. But that day marked the beginning of a new chapter for Cupcake. We brought her to the veterinarian for a thorough check-up.
With veterinary care, proper nourishment, and lots of affection, we saw a transformation in her.
Cupcake is now a happy, safe, and adored Pilot Pup.
Dixie
When Team 600 found Dixie, she was living in such foul-smelling conditions, it was hard for us to bear it.
Dixie had no relief from the sweltering sun. She was sniffing through garbage, desperate for anything to eat in the rotting waste.
When we were finally able to approach her with water, she gulped it down frantically.
We brought Dixie to our veterinarian for much-needed care. Now she’s one of our adored Pilot Pups!
Rosie
Rosie was so terrified, her entire body was shaking. All alone, she was hiding in a bed of dirt and dead weeds.
Team 600 approached her slowly and cautiously. We offered her a handful of food and words of affection.
Rosie thought she was hiding from us by cowering down into the dirt, but we could always see each other’s eyes. She remained terrified for quite a while, but finally, with a bit of hope, she trusted us enough to step out from her "hiding" spot. She inhaled the food and water we gave her, so fast that we were afraid she'd choke -- but thank goodness she just swallowed it whole.
We brought Rosie to our veterinarian for a much-needed checkup, and she became one of our beloved Pilot Pups!
Asia
When Team 600 rescued Asia, she could barely move.
Her weakened body told a tale of prolonged suffering — a haunting reminder of the estimated 600 million stray dogs fighting for survival every day worldwide.
We approached her with gentle determination, offering life-saving water and food. She didn’t resist — not because she trusted us, but because she was too weak to care anymore. She simply surrendered.
We rushed her to our veterinarian for much-needed care and treatment. The good news is that she fully recovered and is happy and healthy!
Trixie
We found Trixie hiding in the grass, too terrified to come near us — her frail body trembling from hunger and exhaustion.
The sight of her sniffing through garbage for scraps of food in the sweltering heat was heartbreaking. We could tell she had given birth to a litter of puppies, but despite our desperate searching, none of her puppies could be found.
Patiently, we stayed by her side, waiting for her to trust us. Little by little, Trixie's fear began to melt away. Finally, she allowed us to help her.
Now Trixie is safe, happy, and surrounded by love — her days of fear and suffering are behind her.
China Doll
China Doll, rescued and named in honor of the 45,000 strays killed in a single mass killing in China.
Your donation not only goes to help end pet overpopulation and prevent the suffering of stray dogs and cats, it also allows us to rescue more pups like China Doll.
Frenchie
When Frenchie was first found, there were doubts that she would make it. She was skin and bones, and rescuers noticed that her legs looked deformed.
After several weeks of some tender love and care and plenty of nourishment, Frenchie was able to make a full recovery. She loves to eat cantaloupe and bananas!
Today, Frenchie is a gentle, sweet and happy little Bulldog who is grateful to those who saved her.
A graduating class of 6 Pilot Pups!
Marley
Marley, also known as the gentle giant, loves lounging in the green grass, basking in the sun and giving sloppy kisses to everyone!
All of our Pilot Pups are adopted out into loving homes. We also cover all associated costs such as veterinary care, food, housing, transportation, adoption -- and we add a hefty dose of love and affection.
Jipsy and Sissy
Jipsy and Sissy, just hours after being rescued -- Jipsy looks worried, while Sissy is hiding in the grass and can barely be seen. They were found hiding behind a trash dumpster in an alley.
They are both very gentle, but their confidence has grown after being adopted into their forever home. Jipsy is an excellent runner and pretty lively -- when the cameras aren't around!
Sally
... an inquisitive Pilot Pup.
Your donation not only goes to help end pet overpopulation and prevent the suffering of stray dogs and cats, it also allows us to rescue more pups like Sally.
Sunny
Miss Sunny: once homeless and near death, now she's rescued and shopping at the hardware store! She's a lover of peanut butter, long walks and chasing squirrels. Her rescuer wrote, "When I scooped her up, she was gentle as could be. The poor thing, the first thing she tried to do was shake hands."
Buddy

She loves snuggling, especially with her human parents.
