United Airlines captain's adoption party.

A pup named Polaris had arrived to San Francisco with a traveler from an international destination

But the dog was abandoned at the airport when the customer chose to continue traveling on without his animal

United Airlines worked to ensure the puppy completed necessary requirements to enter the United States, including a quarantine period

From the moment Polaris landed in airline care, the entire SFO United team cared for him 24/7

Airline hosted a festive adoption party at the airport to celebrate Polaris' adoption
