NEW YORK, March 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Today the ASPCA’s (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) national Animal Relocation Program marked a significant achievement by transporting its 200,000th shelter animal. The ASPCA currently relocates more homeless animals than any other organization by working with overcrowded shelters in under-resourced areas of the country, most often in the South, to relocate their animals to other shelters, most often in the North, where those animals have greater chances of being adopted into loving homes.
The milestone dog, Noah, a 1-year-old, male cattle dog/Basenji mix, arrived to a celebration at Second Chance Animal Services’ “Almost Home” transport center in North Brookfield, Massachusetts. Noah’s trip began at the Mobile SPCA in Mobile, Alabamawhere he was loaded onto the Nancy Silverman Rescue Ride on Saturday, March 26. The ASPCA then drove all 37 dogs to Mobile Regional Airport, where they boarded their lifesaving ASPCA flight to Massachusetts. After a brief stop in Mississippi to allow additional shelter dogs to board the flight, all 70 pets were on their way to the ASPCA’s shelter partners in Massachusetts. The flight landed safely at the Worcester Regional Airport in Worcester, Massachusettsand from there the Nancy Silverman Rescue Ride drove Noah and his travel companions to Second Chance Animal Services, where he will soon be available for adoption.
