Virgin Australia airline – giving back to the community by offering free flights to dogs traveling to a new home in Australia. Finally an airline offering to give back and help rescue organizations by provide much needed transport to dogs in need. The cost of transporting a dog, especially overseas is incredibly expensive – so much so that it is cost prohibitive for many adopters at costs typically well over $1,000 to fly from Asia to the US. There are so many dogs in need of homes around the world and in many cases it’s only through international adoption that they will have a chance at survival let alone know the joys of life in a home.
To me this is a win/win of the best kind…. dogs lives are saved and the airline gets the good PR of helping dogs in need while filling unused capacity.
Please read this uplifting article about a remarkable airline.
