Lots of smiles and wagging tails in El Cajon this week as Gillespie Field served as the landing spot for a group of dogs that have been through a lot. HeyKitty introduces us to the rescued beagles on their way to a new life.
A plane carrying precious cargo arrived at Gillespie Field Wednesday afternoon: 108 rescued beagles. They were welcomed with happiness and excitement by staff and volunteers from the San Diego Humane Society."She’s really excited ... and she deserves to be. first time she’s out of a research lab, so this is really great news," he said as he carried the little dog to an air conditioned vehicle at the ready. The beagle barked and wagged her tail along the way.
One by one the beagles were packed up and quickly shuttled to the Humane Society’s El Cajon animal campus, where dozens of staff and volunteers have been working overtime, getting ready to welcome the special delivery. There, the beagles will get vaccinated and microchipped, and will be given physical and metal health check-ups along with some play time.
Weitzman said the Humane Society will immediately place the beagles in foster homes. But he said the Society will need donations to support their care until the beagles are well enough to go to forever homes.
