An Alaskan non-profit called Bethel Friends of Canines which typically helps reheome animals, has helped charter a plane to rescue 50-100 dogs from the town of Kipnuk in the midst of evacuations.

The rescued dogs traveled about 90 miles by plane to the nearest shelter in Bethel.
The rescue organization has stated the rescue cost them $3000 to execute and that they aren’t sure how many times they are going to have to do similar operations in the coming days or weeks.
They have managed to raise over $22,000 dollars since last Wednesday for the rescue efforts.

Today marks the 24th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, and we are taking some time to honor a few of the 300+ dogs, including two guide dogs, who showed such bravery and dedication during and after the attacks in New York City.

From search and rescue efforts to therapy and emotional support, dogs are some of the lesser known rescuers and heroes to come out of 9/11 🐾

Mushie went missing in North Hollywood, CA in September of 2024 while with a dog sitter. She is STILL missing.

Mushie was originally rescued from Palmdale after a breeder dumper her when she could no longer have puppies. Mushie is no longer able to breed. From flyers and online social media posts, to psychics and a bloodhound, her owner Gabriella has gone to every length to find Mushie to no avail.

She is roughly 7-years-old, with black fur and a white patch that starts under her chin all the way down to her belly. She has brindle highlights in her black fur, brown eyes, a very short tail, and perky ears that usually stay pointed upwards. Her owner Gabriella is determined not to give up on her and bring her home!
