41 Rescued Dogs and Puppies Flown to Beverly, Mass. From Texas

Cloud Nine Rescue, an all-volunteer nonprofit organization, flew 41 dogs and puppies of all shapes, sizes and ages, from Texas to Beverly, Mass. on Sunday in hopes they would find new homes. The youngest puppy is nine weeks old, and the oldest dog is 3-years-old.

The organization behind the rescue of the dogs in Texas is Operation Pets Alive! The non-profit, all-volunteer organization that strives to convince Montgomery County, Texas to become a no-kill community.

A small plane full of dogs landed at Beverly Airport around 6:30 Sunday night. The dogs and pups were taken off the plane by rescuers, and put into waiting vans, and transported to Northeast Animal Shelter in Salem.

The dogs and puppies were isolated, and will be isolated for 48 hours. All of the potential pets will be checked by a veterinarian, and once they pass their health check up, they will be available for adoption later this week.

Cloud Nine Rescue’s standard missions involve transporting healthy, adoptable pets out of overcrowded kill shelters in southern states to no-kill shelters and rescues in the northern states.

For adoptions: public can visit Northeast Animal Shelter, 347 Highland Ave., Salem or call (978).745-9888 for more information.
