Several of our dogs have had their own private flight to Austin to become official Gold Ribbon Rescue (GRR) dogs. We extend our gratitude to the pilots who have made these trips possible.

Aircraft Simulation Training (AST) is an organization based in Burnet, Texas and owned by Staci and Rick McGuire - big dog lovers and fans of GRR. They recently made a generous donation of $750 to our organization and are spreading the word to increase the network of pilots that can assist future GRR dogs.

Pilot Jim and Vanessa Minton, have been GRR fans for many years and have a 15-year-old Golden. Jim and Vanessa met Michelle Goldberg, GRR president, to present the donation on behalf of Staci and Rick. Also on site was Glenn Chiappe, pilot and GRR volunteer, who has flown several missions for GRR and made this connection possible because of his relationship with Jim.

Three Golden ambassadors were on-hand including Aster (23-094) who was a recent recipient of a private flight from south Texas to bring him to Austin to literally save his life. Other Golden ambassadors included Rusty (15-162) and Marley (23-052).

GRR is grateful for AST’s donation and our current pilot volunteers. We are also eager to spread the word to raise awareness of AST and grow the network of pilots who will be able to help our dogs - dogs that are too far away for ground transport or in need of an emergency intake. Our community of support continues to amaze us! Thank you, Staci, Rick, Glenn, Jim and Vanessa!
