Personally, we have escorted 4 dogs from Mexico, back to Calgary where they were handled by one of the local organizations.
No, they don't pay for flights. They provide carriers, and pay the $50.00 fee (I don't recall if that's an airline fee or a fee at customs)
There's nothing in it for the person transporting the dogs, other than some stress added to travelling. and the great feeling that you saved some worthy animals.
I donate to local organizations, a rescue in Mexico, and an organization in Florida who handle rescues from Korea.
