       #SeuksArmy Kim, 49, had realized a childhood dream of learning to fly & was looking to make a career of it after decades working in the financial sector.The Springfield, Virginia, man also liked animals. So after connecting with Galley & others through an #AnimalRescue discussion board called Pilots N Paws, he was in. All in — Kim did multiple animal flights a week & recruited other pilots.…#AdoptDontShop #SpayAndNeuter #cats #dogs #DogsOfMastodon #CatsOfMastodon https://apnews.com/article/animal-rescue-flight-crash-volunteers-seuks-army-e29dff1671ccafd9c8ac9014f49bf267?utm_source=onesignal&utm_medium=push&utm_campaign=2025-12-26-Animal+rescue

       On his last day, Kim left Culpeper with 4 dogs, delivered one to a Maryland airport, then took off with the rest for Albany, New York.His 1986 Mooney M20J plane went down in New York’s Catskill Mountains after he reported hitting turbulence. The crash killed Kim & one of the dogs, but the other two survived & were adopted.#SeuksArmy #AnimalRescue #AdoptDontShop #SpayAndNeuter #cats #dogs #DogsOfMastdon #CatsOfMastodon

       …While Kim’s family & friends mourned, news coverage drew attention, new volunteers & more partners to the grassroots nonprofit coordinated largely via WhatsApp chats & FB posts.A year later, what is now Seuk’s Army transports 2 to 3 times as many animals as it did before, Gregory said.On the anniversary of the tragedy that transformed the group, volunteers relayed 117 animals. #SeuksArmy #AnimalRescue #AdoptDontShop #SpayAndNeuter #cats #dogs #DogsOfMastdon #CatsOfMastodon

       Pilots use their own planes & pay flight costs, which run hundreds of dollars an hour. Galley, her husband & co-founder pilot Jerry Stephens, & other volunteers have largely underwritten veterinary bills, supplies & other needs.#SeuksArmy #AnimalRescue #AdoptDontShop #SpayAndNeuter #cats #dogs #DogsOfMastdon #CatsOfMastodon

       In a nation where #shelters & #rescue organizations take in millions of #cats & #dogs annually, & hundreds of thousands are euthanized for reasons that can include lack of space, rescue flights open new foster possibilities for agencies with kennels that are always full even with animals doubled up.#SeuksArmy #AnimalRescue #AdoptDontShop #SpayAndNeuter #DogsOfMastdon #CatsOfMastodon
