        "articleBody": "Just when you thought the perfect airline flight doesn't exist, [Southwest Airlines](http://www.teenvogue.com/tag/southwest-airlines) filled one of their airplanes with more than 60 dogs and cats — and it was all for a good cause.\n\nOn Tuesday, 64 [rescue animals](http://www.teenvogue.com/story/hurricane-harvey-how-to-help) who were stranded in Houston shelters after [Hurricane Harvey](http://www.teenvogue.com/tag/hurricane-harvey) were loaded onto a plane and flown to San Diego, where they were taken to the Helen Woodward Animal Center, according to a [Southwest press release](https://www.swamedia.com/releases/release-a0ee08c3cdc2fd34062e41c5bc34c4ea-helen-woodward-animal-centerr-lends-a-helping-hand-to-houston). The airline teamed up with Operation Pets Alive!, a Houston-based organization, to arrange the flight in an effort to \"relieve strain on the local facilities and allow OPA to make room for family pets whose humans are currently displaced from their homes,\" according to the release.\n\n\"These are the silent victims,\" Mike Arms, president of HWAC, said. \"There are shelters that have been devastated by Hurricane Harvey, without electricity, without supplies. Operation Pets Alive! has taken in an overwhelming number of orphan dogs and cats who had inhabited those shelters before the storm and were suddenly facing euthanasia simply because they had no place to go. We are honored to help save those lives and we are lucky to have incredible friends like Southwest to help make this all possible.\"\n\nLinda Rutherford, Southwest Airlines's chief communications officer, added, \"The devastation of Hurricane Harvey has impacted a number of our communities along the Gulf. Our hearts are with our customers, employees, family, and friends who have experienced loss and devastation from the storm. We're so happy to partner with the Helen Woodward Animal Center to extend hope to Houston by transporting shelter animals to a new home in San Diego, while making additional space for family pets whose humans are currently displaced. Our employees care so deeply for our customers and all those impacted by Hurricane Harvey, including our sweet little four-legged friends.\"\n\nSouthwest and HWAC employees who accompanied the furry passengers on the flight posted plenty of adorable pictures online of the journey. The photos show flight attendants posing for selfies with puppies, kittens getting their kennels strapped into their assigned seats, and even one ambitious dog attempting to take control of the plane. Additionally, according to another [post](https://twitter.com/armarkos/status/905903956882329601), at least one of the transported cats has already been adopted by a new family in San Diego. (You could say this was a paws-itive commute.) \n\nSouthwest isn't the only one taking care of animals displaced by the hurricane: Humane Society locations across Texas [took in countless animals](http://www.teenvogue.com/story/hurricane-harvey-how-to-help) and lowered adoption fees after the storm, a New Orleans woman [rescued more than 100 animals](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/michelle-ingram-hurricane-harvey-rescue-animals/) displaced by the hurricane, and, on a more recent note, several chickens appear to have been loaded into the backseat of a car and evacuated from Key West, Florida, in advance of Hurricane Irma, according to a [photo](https://www.facebook.com/Amberkeywestfinest/photos/a.419091798957.191332.210694038957/10155794149588958/?type=3&theater) posted on the \"Key West Finest\" Facebook page on Thursday.\n\n[#twitter: https://twitter.com/Marciegee/status/905288015874011140]\n\n[#twitter: https://twitter.com/SouthwestAir/status/905565563707117573]\n\n[#twitter: https://twitter.com/SouthwestAir/status/905566009297383425]\n\n[#twitter: https://twitter.com/10NewsJoeLittle/status/905170101636292608]\n\n[#twitter: https://twitter.com/HWAC/status/905107294664310784]\n\n[#twitter: https://twitter.com/HWAC/status/905106811245666305]\n\n[#twitter: https://twitter.com/HWAC/status/905224168211324928]\n\n[#twitter: https://twitter.com/armarkos/status/905903956882329601]\n\n__Related:__ [How Hurricane Harvey Affected 7 Young People](http://www.teenvogue.com/story/how-hurricane-harvey-affected-7-young-people)",

[Southwest Airlines](http://www.teenvogue.com/tag/southwest-airlines) filled one of their airplanes with more than 60 dogs and cats — and it was all for a good cause.\n\nOn Tuesday, 64 [rescue animals](http://www.teenvogue.com/story/hurricane-harvey-how-to-help) who were stranded in Houston shelters after [Hurricane Harvey](http://www.teenvogue.com/tag/hurricane-harvey) were loaded onto a plane and flown to San Diego, where they were taken to the Helen Woodward Animal Center, according to a [Southwest press release](https://www.swamedia.com/releases/release-a0ee08c3cdc2fd34062e41c5bc34c4ea-helen-woodward-animal-centerr-lends-a-helping-hand-to-houston). The airline teamed up with Operation Pets Alive!, a Houston-based organization, to arrange the flight in an effort to \"relieve strain on the local facilities and allow OPA to make room for family pets whose humans are currently displaced from their homes,\" according to the release.\n\n\"These are the silent victims,\" Mike Arms, president of HWAC, said. \"There are shelters that have been devastated by Hurricane Harvey, without electricity, without supplies. Operation Pets Alive! has taken in an overwhelming number of orphan dogs and cats who had inhabited those shelters before the storm and were suddenly facing euthanasia simply because they had no place to go. We are honored to help save those lives and we are lucky to have incredible friends like Southwest to help make this all possible.\"\n\nLinda Rutherford, Southwest Airlines's chief communications officer, added, \"The devastation of Hurricane Harvey has impacted a number of our communities along the Gulf. Our hearts are with our customers, employees, family, and friends who have experienced loss and devastation from the storm. We're so happy to partner with the Helen Woodward Animal Center to extend hope to Houston by transporting shelter animals to a new home in San Diego, while making additional space for family pets whose humans are currently displaced. Our employees care so deeply for our customers and all those impacted by Hurricane Harvey, including our sweet little four-legged friends.\"\n\nSouthwest and HWAC employees who accompanied the furry passengers on the flight posted plenty of adorable pictures online of the journey. The photos show flight attendants posing for selfies with puppies, kittens getting their kennels strapped into their assigned seats, and even one ambitious dog attempting to take control of the plane. Additionally, according to another [post](https://twitter.com/armarkos/status/905903956882329601), at least one of the transported cats has already been adopted by a new family in San Diego. (You could say this was a paws-itive commute.) \n\nSouthwest isn't the only one taking care of animals displaced by the hurricane: Humane Society locations across Texas [took in countless animals](http://www.teenvogue.com/story/hurricane-harvey-how-to-help) and lowered adoption fees after the storm, a New Orleans woman [rescued more than 100 animals](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/michelle-ingram-hurricane-harvey-rescue-animals/) displaced by the hurricane, and, on a more recent note, several chickens appear to have been loaded into the backseat of a car and evacuated from Key West, Florida, in advance of Hurricane Irma, according to a
