Great Escape 05/22/10

ARF Pilots:

In Anderson, SC there is a huge animal shelter with easily 500 dogs in it on a day-to-day basis. In this economy, not many of these dogs will find local adopters. Fortunately, the women that run the shelter for the city are very, very dedicated to working with rescues and transporters to get as many dogs out of their shelter as possible and on their way to parts of the country where there is not an animal overpopulation problem and where the dogs will more likely find new homes of their own. But there is a huge amount of dogs and many end up on death row...perfectly adoptable...but not able to get out in time.

A few rescues in the Northeast have agreed to take 22 "death row dogs" from the Anderson shelter, and find them new homes. Now these lucky dogs just need a way to get from SC to their final destinations...and that's where ARF comes in!
