The flight brought dogs and cats from San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Naples, Florida. Both of those areas were hit by Hurricane Ian.

The flight first landed in Chicago, where it delivered 100 pets. Its final destination was in Kalamazoo, where 24 dogs were delivered.

The SPCA of Southwest Michigan took the pets after they landed in Kalamazoo. Anyone interest in adopting them is asked to visit the SPCA of Southwest Michigan.
