Dogs get new lease on life in New England.
With Gretchen’s time nearing the end, her last chance was a ride to Massachusetts. Her last chance has become a new life.
Gretchen was one of the 13 dogs the Aiken County Animal Control shelter shipped to a no-kill shelter in Massachusetts through a partnership between the two shelters and a horse transport company.
Now, at least 10 of the dogs already have new homes in just a little more than a week.
Betty Bilton, director for the Northeast Animal Shelter, in Salem, Mass., said the animals arrived Feb. 4, after a 1,000-mile trek courtesy of Fairway Horse Transport. Full Story.

Trip gives dogs a second chance at life
Thirteen dogs at the Aiken County Animal Control shelter got a new lease on life Tuesday, as well as a ride to Massachusetts.
A horse transport company that had delivered horses to Aiken let the pooches tag along on the 1,000 mile journey to Salem, Mass., where they will await adoption at a no-kill facility, the Northeast Animal Shelter.
Bobby Arthurs, chief enforcement officer for Aiken County, said moving the 13 dogs would free up additional space for other adoptable animals, as well as save these dogs’ lives.
