Over 100 At-Risk Shelter Pets Have Landed In New Jersey to Find Forever Homes
101 at-risk dogs and cats were flown out of overcrowded shelters in Louisiana and landed in Morristown, New Jersey, for a second chance.
This life-saving Clear The Shelters Flight was possible thanks to your continued support, Greater Good Charities' Good Flights, Hill's Pet Nutrition, and NBCUniversal Local's Clear the Shelters event.
Not only will Kyndal, Cinna, and countless other pets quickly find loving homes, but the open kennels will allow the shelters to help even more animals.
But that's not all...
Animal shelters are overcrowded, especially in southern states, and short on resources. They are in desperate need of support, adopters, and supplies.
With the increasing price of pet food and care, more pets are being surrendered and many arrive malnourished. Your donations have helped fly highly adoptable dogs and cats out of this dire situation. They will all find loving homes and are forever grateful for your help.
Hundreds of shelters are participating in NBCUniversal Local's Clear the Shelters event with lower adoption fees and incentives to encourage people to adopt. The event runs until September 10, so please consider adopting and save more lives.
Help us fly even more shelter pets to freedom by donating towards September's flight. Just $5 helps cover the fuel costs of flying a pet 125 miles towards safety.
