Dozens of dogs took off from Van Nuys Airport on Tuesday morning to help relieve overcrowded shelters struggling to house animals seized from a Lake Hughes property last week.
Dozens of dogs took off from Van Nuys Airport on Tuesday morning as part of an effort to relieve overcrowded Los Angeles County shelters struggling to house animals seized from a Lake Hughes property last week.
Hundreds of cats and dogs were seized from a Lake Hughes property during a rescue operation. The dogs were transported to rescue groups in the Chicago area. Local organizations say they are trying to create space after hundreds of animals were removed from a Lake Hughes home on Friday, where conditions were described as inhumane. Officials involved in the operation said the attention to the case may help the dogs find new families. "The pets got a lot of publicity through the media and everything. They're going to become the Kardashians of pets, so everybody's going to want one of them," said Ric Browde, the CEO and chairman of Wings of Rescue. "It bothers us to know that we didn't get them all. That's the real heartbreak of each mission ... there are pets that still need saving, and that's really tough." L.A. County has waived all adoption fees in an effort to encourage more families to take in the remaining animals.
