Puerto Rico-based dog rescue organization Island Dogs Inc. is bringing "a sizeable rescue and transport" of stray dogs to the states in collaboration with Animal Aid USA in Williamstown, New Jersey, and the Humane Society of Atlantic County.
The pups will be arriving at Philadelphia International Airport around 12:30 p.m. Monday before being transported to Atlantic City. Once the pups reach the Shore, the Humane Society of Atlantic County will work to get the dogs forever homes. A press release posted on Island Dogs Inc.'s Twitter page says many of the dogs from Puerto Rico have already been adopted and will have homes upon arrival in New Jersey.
Island Dogs Inc. is a nonprofit that seeks to create "animal-friendly communities in Puerto Rico." They've been working with the Humane Society of Atlantic County for seven years, and this rescue effort also comes thanks to the ASPCA.
To thank their partners in the States, Island Dogs created a video featuring Pharrell's "Happy" and photos of the dogs being rescued today.
