Ware County dogs, cats and a few rabbits go airborne to new homes | savannahnow.com

WAYCROSS – A Waycross organization that helps move unwanted pets to new homes now has some airborne help.

The Midcoast Regional Airport in Hinesville was the site earlier this month of a rescue airlift for nearly 500 dogs, a few cats, rabbits and guinea pigs who were flown to new homes.

Sixty planes in the Pilots N Paws took off in Operation Special Delivery, a volunteer organization that flies pets from overcrowded animal shelters to areas where rescue pets are in short supply.

Aboard those flights were some animals that the Friends of the Okefenokee Humane Society brought from Waycross, Charlotte de la Vergne said. She and Genelda Field transported 45 dogs and a couple of rabbits.
