The puppy named Polaris was left behind by an international traveler who 'chose to continue traveling on without his animal,' the San Francisco SPCA said.
Polaris is pictured during United Airlines’ celebratory adoption party at San Francisco International Airport on Dec. 15, 2022. A puppy who was abandoned at the San Francisco International Airport earlier this year recently found a forever home with an airline pilot and his family.
"From the moment Polaris landed in our care, our entire SFO United team cared for him 24/7 until we were able to get permission to keep him safely in the U.S.," Vincent Passafiume, United’s director of customer service, said in the SPCA statement. "We really wanted him to go to someone in our United family, because of how much our team rallied around him," Passafiume separately told the Washington Post.

To celebrate Polaris’ new home, United hosted an adoption party on Dec. 15 at SFO and donated $5,000 to the San Francisco SPCA to support their year-round lifesaving work of helping animals. Photos show Polaris dressed in a Santa outfit and standing with his new family.
