Kevin Costner helps save California strays

Kevin Coster is helping The Orange Dog founder Jan Folk, who is based in Edmonton, to save the numerous dogs who are stuck in California’s crowded animal shelters. Costner and his white Lab Daisy recently flew to Edmonton on the dog rescue liner to show his support of The Orange Dog’s mission. “When this plane is operating at its best, it’s not just taking people around the world, it’s hauling animals,” the actor told Access Hollywood. “[It’s] essentially an exchange of animals that were going to be euthanized. Instead of having that happen, they are now making their way to Canada, having a second chance at life. [The charity] spoke to my heart. The last dog that we saved… in two hours was going to be euthanized, and believe it or not, before we made it to Canada, the pilot adopted the dog. I think the first trip took 50-plus dogs, the second trip I think took 115 dogs all on this plane, so you can imagine this luxury, five-star piece of transportation just filled with animals that are going to get a second chance at life.” Folk says, “We fly them in, turn them over to the Edmonton Humane Society and they are snapped up within two weeks.” The Orange Dog has rescued 314 dogs since 2009.

Yay Kevin for helping Canadians save American dogs! I’m glad they are getting a second chance instead of being murdered in shelters when there are plenty of Canadians who want them. Go Canada!
