Pet Airways Flies Rescue Dogs To Freedom

Thanksgiving Day Holiday 2009. Operation Thanksgiving Day Pet Flight to
Freedom will provide a plane load of pets with a free flight to a better
life. The first ever pet rescue airlift will take place this Thanksgiving
Holiday with a flight from Pet Airways' Pet Lounge at Chicago's Midway
Airport to the Pet Airways Pet Lounge in Farmingdale, New York.

In conjunction with Best Friends Animal Society, Pet Airways is helping to
place these currently homeless dogs with new families by providing free
transportation to the New York area where they will be made available for
adoption.
As part of its ongoing mission of working toward a time when there are No
More Homeless Pets, Best Friends collaborates with rescue and shelter
organizations throughout the country to place needy pets in loving homes.
One of the issues of rescuing large numbers of pets is getting them to new
homes.

Pet Airways is helping in this endeavor, by flying an entire planeload of
rescued dogs to New York, where a local shelter has come forth to accept
these pets to help them be adopted.

Pet Airways was created to provide a safe and comfortable alternative to
flying pets in the cargo hold of planes. Pet Airways Pawsengers fly in the
main cabin of our aircraft with a Pet Attendant watching over them at all
times.

As part of Pet Airways' Corporate Responsibility Policy, Pet Airways
provides space on our planes to help pets that need to be rescued.
Thanksgiving is a great day to not only give our pets a hug for all the love
that they give us, but to also help out some pets in need.

Follow the rescue and how the pets travel on the Pet Airways website. Pets
are being driven to Chicago by Best Friends on Thanksgiving Day where they
will have their Thanksgiving dinner at the Pet Airways Pet Lounge. After the
dinner, pets will enjoy the love of lots of volunteers, will sleep happily
that night, and board the Pet Airways Pet Flight to Freedom on Friday
morning.

I am delighted to read about Pet Airways. Do they fly to European distinations? Thanks Pet Airways for helping our needy four footers.

Lucky pets!
But shouldn't all this effort and expense be devoted to more needy causes — like helping the millions of homeless, starving kids in the world, aiding refugees, improving medical care for the millions struggling just to exist in poorer countries???
