Air Charter Service flew more than 208 rescue cats and dogs in April from Merced in California to their new homes in Salem, Arlington and Spokane on behalf of a pets’ charity.
The broker was approached the animals , including very young puppies, to three different rehoming programmes in northern states. Flying meant the animals were in transit for much less time than by road.
ACS enlisted a team of volunteers to help load the aircraft, with all animals securely on board in a little over an hour.
The aircraft made three drops, first in Salem, Oregon, where it was on the ground for just over 30 minutes, before flying to Arlington and Spokane in Washington.
