BOISE, ID (CBS2 NEWS) — Dozens of pets from Florida shelters arrived in Boise on Sunday afternoon.
Boise is the first stop on a three-stop journey made by Good Flights. Good Flights is a program of Greater Good Charities, in partnership with the Humane Society of the United States. The organizations are moving shelter pets out of areas impacted by Hurricane Ian to make room for the ongoing influx of homeless and lost pets due to the storm.
Lake Lowell Animal Rescue in Nampa and the Blackfoot Animal Shelter and Rescue received animals -- with Lake Lowell Animal Rescue taking in several dogs and 20 guinea pigs.
After stopping in Boise, the remaining pets will continue to shelters in Oregon and Washington. In all, over 180 animals are being transported.
While at the receiving shelters, all the pets will be evaluated and receive any follow-up medical care needed before being put up for adoption.
