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.

Based out of Canmore, O'Neill runs the Rocky Mountain Animal Rescue, and visits the Stoney Nakoda First Nation often to find and rescue stray and abandoned dogs wandering the lonely landscape."

Two chihuahuas, a Pomeranian mix, a terrier mix, a toy poodle and a Jack Russell mix have been plucked off the streets of Tijuana, and spent the past few months being rehabilitated and vaccinated by an animal shelter in southern California.
