Our milestone flight airlifted more than 80 dogs and cats including our 10,000th transported pet, Peatie, to their new families.

Peatie is a 2-year-old chihuahua mix from Louisiana who was surrendered to his local shelter due to an unfortunate situation with his previous owner, who was heartbroken to no longer be able to care for him. But this Good Flight offers Peatie, and many pets just like him, a second chance at a loving home.

The Good Flights program was able to meet this incredible milestone thanks to our donors and sponsors! During this time, your support has helped our team conduct life-saving airlifts and ground transportation for some of the country’s most at-risk pet populations, including asymptomatic heartworm positive dogs, homeless cats, and harder to place large dogs.
