More than 40 at-risk shelter dogs flown from El Paso to Oregon to find new homes
EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- More than 40 at-risk shelter dogs were flown from El Paso to Portland, Ore. Wednesday morning to be hand-delivered to adoptive and foster families.
The flight was run by Dog Is My CoPilot, a national nonprofit that transports animals from overcrowded shelters to adoption centers in other geographic regions.
"As soon as we spin in the turbine, they're kind of looking around," said Peter Rork, who founded the nonprofit. "They've had such a terrible life so far they're just probably wondering, 'Is it going to hurt?' But we'll take good care of them."
