Batman4Paws is a non-profit organization that rescues and transports animals in need to their forever homes throughout Florida and beyond. Transports are done personally by Chris Van Dorn, aka Batman, using any means necessary.
His mission was born when his dad adopted a rescue dog named Mr. Boots, aka Robin. The dog was transported to them via plane by a nonprofit called PilotsnPaws. Mr.Boots was found wandering around the woods, covered in fleas and ticks. Inspired by Mr. Boots’ story, Batman decided to help other animals in need too. At this time, he was on the final stretch of earning his Private Pilots License so he came up with a way of taking his driving and flying skills and combining it with his love for animals.
“As a child I looked up to the values that superheroes such as Batman reflected and thought that would be the perfect vessel to embody the spirit of goodwill. Thus the crazy idea of Batman4Paws was born,” he wrote on his website.
“I would help rescue animals in need anyway I can, all while dressed as the Dark Knight himself and becoming a symbol for helping those in need.”
