01. Helping Little Dogs, To Canada With Love
Tuesday, July 20, 2010
On Tuesday July 20th, 11 dogs from California animal shelters will board a plane to Calgary, Alberta for a new life in Canada.
DeAnn Turner, Lesley Bloomer, Jennifer Boydstun and Jill Freeland met as volunteers for DAWG (Dog Adoption Welfare Group) in Santa Barbara. They combined resources to transport small dogs from high-density, high-kill shelters in the Los Angeles area to Calgary where there is a shortage of small, adoptable dogs.
Turner formed a relationship with Rory O'Neill, founder of Rocky Mountain Animal Rescue in Canada, where qualified adopters eagerly await the arrival of their petite new pets.

Four dogs rescued from the streets of Tijuana, Mexico arrived at the Calgary International Airport this weekend. No one knows how many dogs roam Tijuana's streets, almost all of them are malnourished and diseased.
United Hope for Animals rescues as many dogs as it can in the hopes of adopting many of them into good homes. Rocky Mountain Animal Rescue heard about the group's efforts and offered to bring some of the dogs to Canada to be adopted out.
