Flight to Freedom

Another airlift of animals from a crowded shelter to a shelter with space has been arranged.  The shelter in Memphis has 110 animals ready to go. They have pilots lined up. They are just working on fundraising. The dogs will go to shelters in the north west where they will soon be adopted.

I love these programs. They move animals from over crowded high risk of euthanasia areas and fly them to places where they will easily find homes. The flight is set for May 3. This is the best solution to overcrowding. Every animal has a home waiting for it. We just have to get the animal to the right place to find that home.

I'm glad they now have these programs to relocate the dogs. It's too sad when then just euthanize a dog because they don't have the room to keep them.

It is a great idea. There are so many dogs in some areas and the only way to save them is to move them. The people who move the dogs are real heroes. They give an unwanted dog a chance to live. There is no better gift than that.

What a great initiative love hearing these stories.

It is amazing how they organize these flights.  It sounds simple, but there must be so many things to think of before the planes take off.
