Putnam Valley, NY
Aruba Flight Volunteers Inc is a dedicated non-profit organization that coordinates volunteer flight escorts to transport rescued animals, including cats and dogs, from the island of Aruba to loving adoptive homes and rescue partners across the United States. Working closely with Aruban rescue foundations, they facilitate airline logistics, travel documentation, and in-cabin transport to give island rescues a second chance. They primarily serve travelers and adoptive families connecting through major US entry hubs like JFK and Newark.
Flight volunteers must be booked on participating commercial flights (e.g., JetBlue, Delta, United) from Aruba to designated US destinations. Volunteers must be willing to carry the animal in-cabin under the seat in an approved carrier, follow airline pet guidelines, and deliver the pet directly to the waiting rescue representative or adopter at the arrival airport.
Aruba Flight Volunteers pairs approved rescue animals with travelers flying from Aruba to participating US airports (such as JFK or Newark). The organization or partnering rescue prepares all necessary health certificates, airline paperwork, and pet reservations. A coordinator meets the flight volunteer at Queen Beatrix International Airport in Aruba with the pet and paperwork, and the adoptive family or rescue representative meets the volunteer at baggage claim/arrivals upon landing in the USA.
