Emergency air operations often demand the ability to respond rapidly, remain for continued support and then withdraw quickly. Sky Ark has the experience to address these types of crises rapidly. In the midst of crisis, efficiency and safety can be sustained only through professional, disciplined management and complex technical support.

Sky Ark Transport Programs:

Regular Transports: Sky Ark will provide transport and/or arrangements for our members' animals needing cross-country and local transportation. We will also provide transport for members when there are situations when the USDA or other governmental agency has shut down a puppy mill or seized animals from deplorable conditions, or from failed animal rescue groups. Sky Ark will attempt to provide transportation to these animals, but only when there is excess funding and time available and members contribute via our Transport Request Center. 

 The animals/wildlife we arrange transport for have a high chance of being put to sleep, not because no one wants them but because no one can get them to other shelters, sanctuaries, foster homes or adopters in other areas of the United States. We want to help animals, wildlife and people survive disasters by bringing in needed supplies and personnel and by transporting out animals and wildlife in crisis situations. We are confident in our ability to provide a service that is desperately needed. We hope you will help us fulfill our mission by donating funds to cover costs.

Transport during natural disasters: Over the past 6 years, Sky Ark has had numerous requests for help after floods, earthquakes and wildfires, and when Hurricanes Katrina/Rita/Wilma left thousands of animals, wildlife and people without food, medical attention or shelter. The Sky Ark board has decided that one of our priorities is to provide transportation to animal evacuees, wildlife and the transportation of needed supplies to people during disasters.
