EVERETT—The Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) received three dogs on a flight carrying pets displaced by the Southern California wildfires. The flight, which transported over 100 shelter dogs and cats from Burbank, California, to Paine Field in Everett, Washington, was organized by Greater Good Charities with support from The Animal Rescue Site. The initiative aimed to alleviate pressure on Southern California animal welfare organizations and increase adoption opportunities for the animals in the Pacific Northwest.
Upon landing, volunteers transported the dogs to the PAWS Companion Animal Center in Lynnwood for medical evaluations and care before they are made available for adoption. PAWS encouraged potential adopters to check www.paws.org for updates on the dogs’ availability.
“PAWS is proud to partner with organizations like Greater Good to give as many dogs and cats a second chance as our capacity allows,” said Jennifer Convy, senior director of PAWS Wildlife Rehabilitation Center and Companion Animal Shelter.
This relocation effort marked the third shelter pet flight organized by Greater Good Charities to assist communities impacted by the wildfires…
