Crates full of dogs and cats from Kerr and Williamson counties lined the tarmac outside Texas Jet in Fort Worth on Wednesday. Some will stay with emergency foster families in the area, and others will continue heading north to Kanab, Utah.
Nelda Corbell with the nonprofit Wings of Rescue said the transport helps free up kennels for pets displaced by last week’s devastating floods.
"There's such a great need right now and truly this is just a small part of what we can do to make things better, getting pets out," Corbell said.
The organization partnered with SPCA of Texas and the Humane Society of North Texas to find foster families.
More pets are set to arrive in Fort Worth on Thursday.
