In Transit Blog: Chihuahuas Catch a Flight to Their New Homes

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 14 November 2013 | 17.35

Virgin America offered a group of California Chihuahuas a lift to the New York area on Wednesday, the fifth time the airline has assisted the San Francisco Department of Animal Care and Control with getting dogs to new homes on the East Coast.

The partnership began in 2010, when Virgin America, which is based in San Francisco, offered to help the agency raise awareness of the breed's overpopulation in California, a problem that has forced animal adoption facilities to send dogs out of state in order to place them in homes, according to a press release from the airline.

New York, among other major cities, makes an ideal destination for the tiny dogs, which fit well into apartment living.

"We're so pleased to again help our friends," John MacLeod, senior vice president of planning and sales at Virgin America, said in the release. "and, of course, to roll out the red carpet for the canine guests we have traveling with us today."

The nine Chihuahuas were bid adieu by the airline's official pet liaison, Boo, a Pomeranian who became an Internet sensation in 2009 after being voted the world's cutest dog by several online communities. The Chihuahuas will be greeted at Newark Liberty International Airport by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, before being placed with their new caretakers.

To help promote the event, Virgin America is offering 25 percent off flights booked Wednesday at midnight Pacific time (the code is VXBark) and will donate $5 to the Animal Care and Control shelter for each flight booked.
