Nine shelter dogs from Palms-N-Paws to be flown to east coast

Nine stray dogs from Twentynine Palms will have a new chance at a stable home life when they are flown to the east coast Saturday morning (July 19). The dogs are currently residing at Palms-N-Paws and the move is part of the Wings of Rescue program with support from the San Diego Humane Society.

Wings of Rescue is a group of volunteer pilots who transport at-risk dogs and cats from kill shelters to no-kill shelters. As Palms-n-Paws continues to partner with outside organizations and shelters in their effort to achieve no-kill status, Wings of Rescue will take these nine dogs to less-populated shelters in New York and Maine.

Rick Boyd is the Animal Control Manager for Twentynine Palms and he praised the effort, saying “This is the kind of collaboration that reminds us of what’s possible when a community truly comes together for animals.”

The nine dogs will be flown from Riverside on Saturday morning, and Z107.7 wishes them a safe and happy journey with several in-flight treats.

There’s still plenty of dogs and cats at the Palms-n-Paws animal shelter looking for local families. You can meet their animals Tuesday through Friday from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. They are located at 7086 Bullion Avenue in Twentynine Palms
