What is Mission Mainland 2.0?
We’ve decided to adapt to this unique situation and put the funds for the mass transfer flight towards off-island adoptions instead. We are offering an all-inclusive price of $150 to the first 125 animals adopted off-island. Off-island adoptions normally cost around $700-800 so this is an incredible deal. We will adopt out two-for-one kittens because two kittens can share a travel kennel. However, we are very full in our dog adoption floors, and we really need to get our shelter dogs adopted.
This $150 prices includes the adoption fee of the animal (who has already been altered, microchipped and vaccinated) rabies vaccines, health certificate, travel crate, and all travel expenses. Adopters will need to pick up their animal from the airport.
Participating airports include: Seattle, San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Oakland, and San Jose. We can ship pets to other locations for an additional fee.
