About Wag Brigade

On December 3, 2013, SFO launched a program, titled “Wag Brigade,” to bring trained dogs to the terminals to make passenger travel more enjoyable. The San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) brought dogs certified through their Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) Program to roam the terminals.

Three years later, Lilou, a Juliana-breed pig joined the beloved Wag Brigade team.  Carefully selected for their temperament and airport suitability, the animals wear vests that read “Pet Me!” which identify them.

Meet the rest of the Wag Brigade.
