For over 700 pets, a second chance started on Valentine’s Day.
The cats and dogs all came from overcrowded shelters in the southern United States, where they would likely be euthanized without intervention.
Luckily, someone did intervene. In March 2017,Freekibble.comandGreaterGood.org partnered with Wings of Rescue to create the Flights to Freedom program.
This program flies shelter animals from overcrowded shelters and natural disaster areas to rescues in other parts of America where it is easier for them to be adopted out. Since Flights to Freedom started, the program has flown over 17,000 pets to new homes.
Their most recent rescue occurred on Feb. 13. and Feb. 14, and brought over 700 pet passengers from 7 different locations, all overcrowded high-risk shelters in the south, to other rescues with space to find the animals forever homes.

One of the seven flights that Flights to Freedom organized for this Valentine’s Day rescue mission landed at Boeing Field in Seattle, Washington, with over 140+ dogs and cats.
Based on their past rescues, Flights to Freedom expects all of these adoptable animals to be in new homes in the next 2-3 days.
