PORTLAND, Maine — The Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland (ARLGP) welcomed more than 120 cats and dogs Friday via Wings of Rescue.

In a collaborative effort through the Coalition for Tulsa Pets, all of the animals have been chosen from five Oklahoma-based municipal shelters and nonprofit rescues.

The transfer between ARLGP and the Coalition for Tulsa Pets was coordinated by Wings of Rescue, a nonprofit organization.
