Southwest Airlines help rescue pets from the Hurricane Harvey disaster in Houston

Southwest Airlines presented one of the biblical scenes back in September of 2017 when the Hurricane Harvey devastated Texas. The scene we are mentioning here is the story of Noah and Ark. You ask how Southwest Airlines depicted that story. Well, let us tell you in detail.

After the disaster struck Texas in form of Hurricane Harvey it led to massive foods that nearly downed whole of Houston city. As a result of this flood, many pets were left orphaned.

Animal shelters at that time in the whole of the Texas state were filled to capacity leaving many pets helpless and homeless. Then came the hero of these orphaned pets; Southwest Airlines. They along with many rescue groups helped in the escape of many orphaned animals from floods which also helped ease the burden of shelters.

The airlines decided to fly these pets from Houston all the way to California to the ‘Helen Woodward Animal Center’ located in San Diego, California. Many pet dog and cats were already habituated in shelters across Texas by a rescue group “Operations Pet Alive” before the storm hit Texas. However now they were on brink of facing a terrible fate.

At this time Woodward Center and Southwest Airlines helped to relocate these animals in a joint operation. Their joint efforts allowed Operations Pets Alive organization to save other orphaned pets in Houston after the city began to recover from the after-effects of the disaster.

Numerous volunteers helped the organization to board these animals housed in special crates aboard a specially converted plane cabin which will allow them to have a chance of new life in California.

Many people in California appreciated these kind gestures of airlines and the animal organizations and adopted a bunch of these pet dog and cats as their own. Many of these sheltered animals still need new owners so you can check with the local shelters to ease up the burden of these shelters.
