It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a beagle! Greater Good Charities is joining forces with iheartdogs.com and the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) to fly beagles from Maryland to new adoptive homes on the West Coast. Will you join us?

The HSUS is currently working to remove about 4,000 beagles from Envigo, a mass-breeding facility in Cumberland, VA. The facility bred dogs to be sold to laboratories for animal experimentation and was riddled with animal welfare concerns.

These beagles deserve better lives, but finding shelters and rescues that can make space and find homes for so many dogs poses a challenge. At a time of year when shelters are already over capacity, it becomes a feat of epic proportions.

That's why two flights on August 20th and 31st will be the first beagle-exclusive flights for our Good Flights program! This operation will be one of the largest Greater Good Charities has ever undertaken, requiring the use of a Brasilia plane. Each of these initial flights will transport over 100 beagles to receiving shelters in Oregon and California, and begin our ongoing efforts to help beagles removed from this mass-breeding facility. Once at the receiving shelters, all dogs will receive any follow-up medical care they need before finding their forever families.
