Southwest Airlines Flew Shelter Animals Out of Houston, and Our Hearts Are Full
Approximately 80 shelter dogs and cats were safely evacuated out of Houston and flown to San Diego thanks to Southwest Airlines and animal rescue groups. On Tuesday, Sept. 5, dozens of orphaned pets were crated and buckled into a packed cabin on its way to Helen Woodward Animal Center in Rancho Santa Fe. This allowed for the Texas animal shelters to be available to the pets affected by Hurricane Harvey.

If it wasn't for the efforts of HWAC, Texas rescue group Operation Pets Alive!, and other volunteers, the shelter animals would have been euthanized without anywhere else to go. They're now all up for adoption in their new California home. HWAC and Southwest Airlines have teamed up previously back in both 2012 for Hurricane Sandy and 2005 for Hurricane Katrina, making this their third partnered rescue mission.
Needless to say, this was one furry rescue flight, with plenty of love to go around! http://pic.twitter.com/mtBuDBGDw1

Many other animal groups have also been helping relocate furry friends without a home out of the impacted area. It's been incredible to see various charities and airlines come together to aid both four- and two-legged victims.
