BECOME A FLIGHT VOLUNTEER<br />

Bring home lovely dogs<br />

Could you be a flight volunteer and take a dog to his new<br />

home? All costs (excluding your airfare) are paid for and a<br />

representative will be at Chiang Mai or Bangkok airports to help<br />

put the dog in the flight.<br />

Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai is home to over 450<br />

abandoned and rescued dogs. They are taken care of in the<br />

park’s Dog Rescue Program which began in 2011. During the<br />

catastrophic floods in Bangkok that year, dogs were trapped<br />

on rooftops and bridges in the capital. They were saved by<br />

volunteers and Elephant Nature Park’s founders decided<br />

to create this dog rescue program. With the help of flight<br />

volunteers they are now able to rehouse many of these lovely dogs<br />

internationally, mainly to the USA,Canada and Europe.<br />

Being a Flight Volunteer, all you have to do is get on your flight<br />

as usual and then when you land, greet the dog at baggage<br />

claims and take it through to another representative who will be<br />

waiting at the arrival gate for you.<br />

If you are interested in being a flight volunteer, please contact<br />

the Dog Project at Elephant Nature Park, they will check your<br />

departure dates and let you know if there is a dog going your<br />

way and if your airline and stopover destination will allow dogs<br />

to travel with you.<br />
