OHS will be accepting a group of dogs from the flight for adoption, as will other organizations. After stopping at the Hillsboro airport, the flight will continue to Everett, Washington, where the remaining animals on board will be placed for adoption with shelters in Washington. OHS will be receiving five dogs to place for adoption. Additional flights are expected in the future.
All of the pets were previously available for adoption at shelters in Texas. None of the animals came to shelters because of Hurricane Harvey. The animals are being relocated away from Texas so that local shelters will have additional space available for the expected influx of pets from flood-stricken areas.
The flight, organized by Wings of Rescue and GreaterGood.org, is expected to arrive in Hillsboro at approximately 1:30 pm, Sept. 1.
