Rescued dogs
safe haven at
JFK Airport
Happy faces of dogs and adopters
JFK is one, if not the largest, airport in
the country to safely receive rescue animals.
JFK Port Authority, and its stakeholders,
The Ark, Air China, WFS and dnata, all contribute
to the successful shipping, handling
and transfer of dogs to adoption agencies
and individuals.
There are a number of people in the U.S.
who want to adopt either for personal reasons
for companionship during the acute
pandemic loneliness, as a family member
or those individuals who wish to fi nd placement
for abandoned, disabled, mistreated or
stolen animals seeking a better life.
The airport has standards for handling
these dogs safely and healthfully and each
company involved works collaboratively to
make sure these animals are treated properly
and with care.
Here are photos of the joy in which receiving
their animals brings to awaiting
adopters.
