NEW YORK—When Seuk Kim took off from Maryland last weekend with three small dogs aboard his plane, it was the latest of many volunteer flights he had made to rescue animals in need.
After realizing a childhood dream of becoming a pilot, Kim transported cats and dogs from disaster areas, overcrowded shelters and other misfortunes—including a dog trapped for days in a shipping container—to rescue groups. He lined up other aviators to do the same.
