Navigating Pet Transport Costs: Tips for a Smooth Journey

Nearly two dozen dogs rescued from China’s meat trade arrived in Southern California Tuesday, their first stop before heading to their forever homes scattered across the United States. Animal lovers, activists and city leaders came together in Inglewood for the grand opening of Rue’s Kennels at Los Angeles International Airport. The shelter, which organizers say is the first of its kind, is a nonprofit animal care facility built to help rescue dogs from around the world. “So, the animals will be examined by me and they will receive another rabies vaccine, even if they came in with paperwork,” veterinarian Karen Dochalligan told KTLA.  The latest so-called “freedom flight” carried 16 golden retrievers, two corgis, a poodle and a malamute, all of whom were rescued from the meat trade in China. While the practice of consuming dog meat is unthinkable in North America, the practice is somewhat common in other parts of the world, though that doesn’t necessarily mean it has widespread support in those places, according to the rescuers.

(KTLA) Yiping Lai, with World of Angels Foundation, is on the frontlines of dog rescues overseas. “Although only 20% of the population consumes dog meat but considering the population of China that’s like 300 million people have at least once consumed dog meat,” Lai explained. Tibetan monks from Long Beach blessed the animals and Inglewood Mayor James Butts helped celebrate their arrival in his city. “This is compassion,” Mayor Butts said. “These animals would’ve suffered a very gruesome fate where they came from in China.” The current mission is a joint effort involving a number of agencies, including SPCA International and China Rescue Dogs, which has saved more than 2,000 dogs since 2019.

Fluffy tails wagged all about on Tuesday, June 27, at a new animal care facility called “Rue’s Kennels at LAX.” The facility’s purpose – to help rescue dogs from China and elsewhere. Rue’s Kennels at LAX isn’t actually at Los Angeles International Airport, but rather an Inglewood facility, 936 W. Hyde Park Blvd. The facility temporarily houses dogs that were rescued before being placed in loving homes across the country — and the pups travel through LAX. Rues Kennels officials call it the nation’s first nonprofit airport animal care facility Rescuing the dogs is made possible through a-multiple organizations partnership. But the primary collaboration is between China Rescue Dogs and SPCA International. China Rescue Dogs is a nonprofit that rescues and rehabilitates dogs from China’s meat trade – which includes breeding farms, trucks bound for slaughter and butcher locations – and finds them homes in North America. Since its founding in 2019, the organization has rescued 2,300 dogs, including those that arrived Monday night. The facility and the flight that brought the first 20 dogs to Los Angeles were made possible through the partnership with SPCA International, a global animal welfare organization; David MacNeil, CEO of WeatherTech; and seven Golden Retriever rescues nationwide. Rue’s will also rescue dogs from Turkey.
