The Edmonton Humane Society is on its way today to pick up the first 38 dogs of an anticipated 60 from California - a program they call the California Canine Cuties Animal Transfer Program. This is from the Edmonton Humane Society's website (http://www.edmo.....Itemid=121
Very proud of our Edmonton Humane Society and the dog-lovin' citizens of my city. 🙂

California Canine Cuties Animal Transfer Program - February 2011
On February 11, a private Gulfstream III jet is once again bringing 60 dogs direct from Los Angeles to the Edmonton International Airport. 38 of the dogs are being transferred from the Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center in Riverside, California. 22 others are coming from the spcaLA. Many of the dogs had an uncertain fate before the transfer due to a severe overpopulation problem in California.
Generous EHS donor and “Orange Dog” company owner, Jan Folk has once again arranged for the animals to be flown via a private Gulfstream III Jet. Once being loaded off the plane, the dogs will be immediately driven to the Edmonton Humane Society and processed into the shelter. The EHS first launched the initiative in October of 2008 to encourage people to turn to the Society first when looking to bring one of the extremely popular small-breed dogs into their family. The Society finds that more people are willing to wait for the California dogs because they know that many of those sold in newspaper or on-line ads, or in pet stores may come from puppy mills or brokers where they often live in horrible conditions; and are often bred without considering the dogs’ welfare. Including this new group, about 400 dogs have been brought to Edmonton from California and placed in loving Alberta “forever homes.” The program also has fringe benefits for the Alberta native animals already in the Society’s care. The EHS notices that many people visit the shelter interested in a California dog, but fall in love with another dog, or even a cat which they bring into their home instead.

I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us. Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.
Wow – that is quite a program. I hope it helps those dogs find homes and really hope the publicity helps the very many Alberta dogs that desperately need homes find a spot.
Comet – let me get this right. You want the dog to fly from L.A. to Edmonton, and then get a lift back to Vegas? 
Have you checked a map lately??? 
One of the many dogs who needs a home here is a Golden cross found on a lake in Thompson, Manitoba this week. Any takers?
