Flying Chihuahuas – South Bay Pets
January 2nd, 2010
Dec. 31st, 35 Chihuahuas from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Los Angeles boarded a Pet Airways flight bound for Denver — and new homes.
The most popular breed in Los Angeles, the Chihuahuas are being sent to Denver where there is an abundance of large-breed dogs — but lots of people who want smaller pooches.
SPCA-LA is lucky to have partners like Dumb Friends and Pet Airways that are dedicated to finding homes for pets in need," said Madeline Bernstein, spcaLA presdient. "With this transport, we’ve satisfied a demand without breeding and puppy mills. None of this could be possible without the generosity of Dr. Leslie Capin, who funded the Chihuahua Airlift."
The dogs flew out of Hawthorne Airport and Daily Breeze photographer Brad Graverson (photo above) was on hand for the event.
