No Dog Left Behind is off again! The ground team had suited up and transported dogs from Kentucky to Pennsylvania and New York. Due to food shortage at the Morgan County shelter, the team also loaded up with donations from Cross Your Paws to restock the shelter with food supplies! Let’s take a look at the breakdown for this recent Rescue Mission:
Rescue Mission Code Name: Kilo Yankee 4.7.19
Transit Mode: Ground / Landplane
Location: Kentucky
Rescue Animals: Dogs
Number of Animals: 13
No Dog Left Behind Mission Background:
All 13 of these dogs in Kentucky were on the list to be euthanized but not if No Dog Left Behind has a say in it. The team was assembled and are ready to deploy. We took the landplane on a nearly 800-mile roundtrip to Morgan County Animal Shelter to pick up dogs from there and surrounding shelters to relocate back to Pennsylvania to give these animals a chance at a future life.
Pre-Rescue Kentucky Mission - 4.7
These 13 dogs will be received by Cross Your Paws Rescue, Pals 4 Pets and 2 Ladies 4 Paws Rescue until they finally make their way to a loving home.
Get to know the dogs:
These 13 dogs, including five dogs from the Eastern Kentucky Correctional Center Prison program were brought to Pittsburgh. Some of these dogs went to Cross your Paws’s. One little guy whose father has Alzheimer’s and had to give him up went to 2 Ladies 4 Paws.
