DOWNEY -- Thirty small dogs from the Southeast Area Animal Control Authority shelter in Downey and an SPCA shelter in Central California will head for the Great White North Friday in hopes of finding homes.
The pups will be flown from the Long Beach Airport to Alberta, Canada, where they
will be taken to the Edmonton Humane Society.
Aaron Reyes, director of operations for SEAACA, said the trip was being made possible
through a donation from Jan Folk, the owner of a company called Orange Dog.
"She is a wonderful woman who truly wants to help shelter animals that so desperately
seek a second chance at a new home," Reyes said. "Who would have thought we'd be
shipping our dogs out of the country to find them their new family?"
Reyes said the transport program is part of a program called California Canine
Cuties.
"We are all full in Southern California, yet the intake door just keeps swinging," he
said. "These transports truly save lives, and we are so grateful to the kind souls
like Mrs. Jan Folk who make these flights happen."
