Over 600 animals just landed in Seattle looking for their "furever" families
Six hundred animals just landed in Seattle from Hawaii, and they’ll soon be looking for their new homes.
After having their Wings of Aloha transfer program that provides off-island adoptions on pause for the last six months, the Hawaii-based animal charity came up with the perfect solution: board 600 pets on one flight to the mainland.
Where did the flight land? In Seattle’s Boeing Field on Thursday.
Checking in with all the animals! We spy Moki & Phyllis!! Who else do you recognize? 🥰💛🐶🐱

According to Liz Baker, CEO of Greater Good Charities, the flight was urgently needed to make space in Hawaii’s shelters for at-risk pets who otherwise wouldn’t be able to receive necessary care to survive.
