The Search Dog Foundation agreed to take
Copper, but he was on the wrong side of the
country, and getting him to its training site
in Santa Paula, California, was complicated
and costly. That's when Angel Flight West
stepped in.
Angel Flight West is network of volunteer
pilots who transport medical patients for
specialized care in the western states. During
the pandemic, however, Angel Flight West
expanded its mission to include moving dogs for
the Search Dog Foundation, and the group has
since completed about 80 missions. Angel Flight
West helped arrange a series of flights that
brought Copper on a somewhat circuitous twoday
journey that included stops in Minnesota,
Arkansas, Arizona, and California. Angel Flight
West President Jeff Moorhouse flew Copper on
the final leg of the trip in his Beechcraft Bonanza
A36 to Santa Paula Airport (SZP).
" It's an honor to help the Search Dog
Foundation, and the dogs and their handlers
are incredible, " he said. " The dogs go from rescued
to becoming rescuers, and our volunteer
pilots thoroughly enjoy taking them where
they need to go. "
Moorhouse's Bonanza was ideal for the job.
There's plenty of room for dog crates; cargo
doors make them easy to load; and the Bonanza
can take off and land at Santa Paula's relatively
short 2,665-foot-long runway.
Copper will spend the next nine months
learning to be a rescuer-a life of action and
purpose that suits his restless temperament.
And now that he's been accepted into the program,
he's set for life. Whether he succeeds
at the demanding curriculum or not, Copper
will always have a home, and he'll never be
neglected again.
" He doesn't know it yet, " Moorhouse said,
" but he just won the dog lottery. "
