The civilians and soldiers forced to leave Afghanistan remained in constant contact with animal welfare organizations until they received the news they had been waiting for for months and months and with tears in their eyes they learned from the associations that their animal was safe and on the direct flight to Canada. The animals that arrived in Vancouver were temporarily moved to a local shelter where they later their owners went to get them.
