Seven precious lab puppies made their way from humid weather in Springhill, LA to the brrr-cold of Brooklyn Center, MN. The sending rescue was Furbaby Second Chance Rescue in Springhill, LA, operated by Judy Teague and Liz Harkins. No Dog Left Behind in Brooklyn Center took in the pups.

Leg 4 – Des Moines, IA to Princeton, MN – Flown by Jim Lyon

Last but not least, our new PnP pilot (just joined March 1) Jim Lyon flew the pups from Olathe, KS, to Princeton, MN.

After many weeks of delays due to the weather, this rescue finally got in the air. Mother Nature finally heard everyones concern about getting the Puppies to MN because the weather could not have been any better. In pilot talk, it was a “non-event”.
