With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, people are reflecting on what they are thankful for. Their family, a home, friends, and good health usually top the list. These happen to be the same things that a shelter dog or cat wishes for.

Animal shelters are overcrowded and there are so many homeless cats and dogs searching for a family of their own. They would love nothing more than to spend the holidays in a loving home. That is why with your support, we are conducting a flight on November 18 to fly dozens of cats and dogs out of shelters in Louisiana and Alabama to freedom in the Pacific Northwest. 

They will arrive at shelters with open kennels and adopters waiting to meet them. The hope and goal is to find them all homes for the holidays. As fuel prices soar, we need your support more than ever to make these lifesaving flights possible. 

$10 helps fly one pet 33 miles now. Meet some of the pets below waiting for their one-way ticket to freedom. 

Capone

This three-year-old Labrador mix was surrendered when his owner became ill and could no longer care for him. The sweet and friendly boy was loved and hopes to find that again. He loves everyone he meets including other dogs. 

His current shelter shared, "Capone may share a name with a notorious gangster, but this boy’s only crime is stealing hearts. Capone adores people. Every person he meets is greeted like a long lost friend, and he gives his whole goofy heart to each one. He is just as social with other dogs, making friends easily and bringing that cheerful, silly energy to every introduction." 

Help fly him to freedom. 

Tyson

Tyson has his whole life ahead of him at just two years old and hopes to spend it in a loving home. He is a true gentleman who is looking for his special someone. 

According to his caregivers, "He walks into every room like he belongs there, and he makes sure everyone in it feels like they belong there too. Tyson arrived with an ear condition from before intake. It has not slowed him down one bit, and it has only added to his one of a kind look. This boy wears his story with complete confidence. He is the kind of cat who greets visitors like old friends, leans into every pet, and gives affection freely. Cool on the outside, a total sweetheart on the inside." 

Sweetie

She is just as sweet as her name implies. Sweetie is a three-year-old red merle pit bull mix with a rare coat and a personality to match. 

"She is a happy, funny girl who keeps everyone around her smiling, and she does it all from a compact, squatty frame that is impossible not to love. Sweetie thrives in large play groups. She walks right in, holds her own, and plays with all the joy and confidence of a dog twice her size. Size really is just a number when you have a personality this big," shared her fans at her current shelter. 

Sweetie walks well on a leash and is the perfect walking partner. She just needs to find her person. 

Malevolent

Don't be fooled by her name, Malevolent is the sweetest kitten who just needs time to warm up to show her true personality. She turns into a playful kitten the moment she spots toys. 

"Malevolent is a little shy when she first meets you. She takes a moment to peek around the corner and size up the situation. But she comes around easily, and once she does, her sweet side shines through. And toys? Malevolent LOVES them. Feather wands, crinkle balls, little mice: if it moves, bounces, or jingles, she is all in. Her toy collection is serious business, and she is ready to expand it in a forever home," her shelter informed us. 

She is ready for a family of her own to love, cherish, and entertain with her playful antics. 

Bouillon

This handsome boy was saved when he was given a second chance by the shelter where he was surrendered. His owner passed away and he was taken in by a friend who didn't have the time or resources to properly care for him. He repeatedly escaped and eventually was surrendered to the shelter with a warning he might bite. 

The misunderstood dog was accessed by the shelter who quickly realized he was sweet and affectionate. He has been there for six months and has been a loving dog to people of all ages. They shared, "He thrives in large playgroups, enjoys one-on-one time with staff and volunteers, and has been wonderful with people of all ages." 

Bouillon is ready for a fresh start and a chance to find a family of his own. 

Shelters are overflowing and without flights like these, highly adoptable pets are at risk of euthanasia. Make this Thanksgiving the one they spend in a loving home. Give today and help fly them and many more to freedom.
