Become a Flight Volunteer

At Baan Maa, we rely on kind-hearted travelers to help us transport rescued dogs and cats to their new families abroad. As a flight volunteer, you can make a life-changing impact on an animal’s journey, simply by adding them to your flight as extra luggage. We organize all of the paperwork and logistics and you’ll meet your travel friends at the airport!

What Does a Flight Volunteer Do?

Being a flight volunteer is easy and rewarding! You’ll assist in bringing a dog or cat (or both) to their forever home overseas by escorting them on your flight. We handle all the paperwork, costs of the animals travel, and logistics, so all you need to do is:

  1. Share your travel details with us.
  2. Meet the animal at the airport before your flight.
  3. Check them in as part of your baggage (we cover any extra fees).
  4. Once you land, meet the animal again, and hand them off to their new family or a representative.

That’s it! You get to travel as planned, knowing you’ve helped change an animal’s life forever.
