Dozens of dogs and cats left homeless by Hurricane Harvey were scheduled to arrive in Waukegan Monday to receive medical care and await adoption.
GreaterGood.org is financing the flight from a Texas shelter for 120 canines and cats. The plane was scheduled to be flown by Wings of Rescue.
The animals will be examined by veterinarians and evaluated for adoption. They've been removed from a shelter to make room for other animals displaced by the hurricane who are awaiting reunion with their families.
Other agencies participating in the rescue are the Humane Society of the United States, Magnificent Mutts Rescue, The Anti-Cruelty Society, Pet Refuge, Humane Society of Indianapolis, and PAWS Chicago.
The plane is scheduled to land at the hangar for fixed-base operator Signature Flight Support .
