Nearly 100 Large Breed Dogs Rescued from Horrific Conditions Flown to ASPCA Rehabilitation Facility in Milestone Transport

星期一, 十一月 7, 2022

PAHRUMP, Nev., Nov. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the ASPCA® (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) is flying nearly 100 large breed dogs rescued from horrific conditions outside of Las Vegas to its brand-new Cruelty Recovery Center to receive critical medical care, behavioral treatment, sheltering and enrichment to prepare them for adoption. The unprecedented transport marks a significant milestone for the ASPCA, as the Caucasian Shepherds, some approximately three feet tall and weighing over 100 pounds, are too big for standard-sized dog carriers and the number of dogs of this size could not fit in a commuter aircraft, severely limiting options for them to be relocated from the temporary emergency shelter where they were housed to a facility where they can receive the specialized rehabilitative care they require. To overcome these challenges and safely move the animals, the ASPCA is utilizing dog crate risers to modify the largest available flight-approved dog crates. The use of these larger crates and the number and size of these giant breed dogs also required the use of a chartered 747-cargo plane–the first flight of this type in animal welfare. Additional animals rescued from this case will be placed with Nevada Humane Society and made available for adoption.

Key Points: 
  • To overcome these challenges and safely move the animals, the ASPCA is utilizing dog crate risers to modify the largest available flight-approved dog crates.
  • Additional animals rescued from this case will be placed with Nevada Humane Society and made available for adoption.
  • The ASPCA deploys nationally to assist local authorities in animal cruelty cases including animal fighting, hoarding, and puppy mills.
