GREATER GOOD CHARITIES AND HARTZ LOVING PAWS AIRLIFT MORE THAN 90 SHELTER PETS FROM THE SOUTH TO NEW JERSEY TO FIND NEW HOMES ON THE EAST COAST
2024年7月23日 - 11:08PM
Greater Good Charities and Hartz Loving Paws, the shelter outreach
program of leading pet care brand Hartz, flew more than 90 at-risk
shelter pets from Louisiana and Alabama to the East Coast to find
new homes. This lifesaving flight is part of Greater Good
Charities' ongoing efforts to help vulnerable shelter pets and
support local animal welfare organizations across the globe.
“We conduct life-saving airlifts and support ground transport
for vulnerable pet populations with a heavy focus on harder to
place large dogs, asymptomatic heartworm-positive shelter dogs,
homeless cats and disaster relief,” said Erin Robbins, Vice
President of Pet Transport for Greater Good Charities. “To date,
Greater Good Charities has transported more than 14,000 shelter
pets to new homes, and we are thrilled to have the support of our
longtime partner, Hartz, for this flight to help even more pets in
need.”On Monday, July 22, a chartered plane departed from New
Orleans Lakefront Airport in the early morning with more than 90
shelter pets and arrived at Morristown Airport in Morristown, N.J.
in the late morning. The pets were transported in vans from the
airport back to the receiving shelters that included St. Hubert’s
Animal Welfare Center and Char Wills German Shepherd Rescue.The
shelter pets on the flight were all fully vetted, and health
certificated thanks to Greater Good Charities. Upon arriving at the
receiving shelters, all the pets are evaluated and receive any
follow-up medical care needed before being put up for adoption.
This lifesaving airlift is part of a long history of
collaborations between Greater Good Charities and Hartz Loving
Paws.
According to Hartz Senior Director of Marketing Stacy Kisla,
“The bond with our furry friends is a physical and emotional
intertwinement. It’s a two-way relationship built on the fact that
life with pets enriches us and helps bring out our best selves.
Hartz Loving Paws and Greater Good Charities share the same
dedication toward fostering that unconditional love. We’re honored
to do our part for social good, but the mission doesn’t stop at
product donations and volunteer events. Today’s younger pet parents
are extremely pro-adoption, and they tell their unique stories –
both the rewards and challenges – across social media. Our team
sees an opportunity, almost a responsibility, to amplify those
narratives as well as provide accessible insights and resources to
the community.”
The participating sending shelters for this flight from
Louisiana and Alabama include Cara’s House, Iberville Parish Animal
Shelter, Jefferson Protection & Animal Welfare Services,
Lafayette Animal Shelter and Care Center, Lafourche Parish Animal
Shelter, St. Charles Parish Animal Shelter, St. Martin’s Parish
Animal Shelter, Terrebonne Parish Animal Shelter, and Save a
Pet Rescue, Adoption, & Transport.
Greater Good Charities responsibly transports shelter pets to
areas where there is a need for adoptable pets and never displaces
local shelter pets in the area. All shelter pets transported via
Greater Good Charities will be done so in compliance with the USDA
interstate regulations.
