More than 50 dogs rescued from puppy mills in Missouri are flying to New York in the hope of finding homes.
This morning, Pet Airways is scheduled to fly the dogs from Chicago to New York where they will be put up for adoption.
The dogs were taken to Chicago yesterday by bus, where they were even given a special Thanksgiving meal.
The Show-Me state launched an aggressive campaign last summer to investigate and prosecute unlicensed dog breeders.
Some of the dogs come from a September raid on an unlicensed breeder in Rolla.
