South Florida puppies get a chance to be adopted

TAMPA, Fla. (WSVN) -- Some adorable puppies got a plane ride out of South Florida, Saturday.

Pilots and Paws flew out five mixed Labrador puppies.

The dogs were sent to the Florida All Retriever Rescue in Tampa.

It's a great opportunity for Miami-Dade Animal Services to get the little guys a home. "Nothing can make me happier," said Kathleen Labrada. "This is a life saving operation that's going on today and without help from Pilot and Paws and other rescue organizations we work with, these pups wouldn't have a chance."

Pilots and Paws is a non-profit organization that flies out animals in danger or in need of rescue.

Once these puppies land, they will be placed in foster homes and then go up for adoption.
