"Fifty of those dogs will be getting new homes in Northern California. "I'm so excited that these dogs are going to be able to have so many opportunities to find homes at one time," said Linea McPherson, President of Northern California Animal Rescue Friends. The organization, also known to many as Northern California Beagle Rescue, is transporting 50 of the dogs to the Bay Area to be adopted out. They're set to arrive in San Jose early Sunday morning."
"McPherson said the dogs will go to foster homes in the Bay Area and Sacramento and get their medical evaluations next week. "It's a very personal thing for me to have this many dedicated volunteers step up," she said, getting emotional. "And it's very eye-opening to the rest of the United States to see what's been going on behind the lines for so many years.""
