HAYWARD, Calif. (KRON) — Overwhelmed animal shelters in fire-ravaged Los Angeles County are continuing to receive a helping hand — or paw — from Bay Area non-profits. On Friday, an emergency flight from Southern California carrying pets impacted by the fires landed in Hayward, where local rescue groups took the animals in.
It was a short flight from San Diego County to the Hayward Executive Airport, but in this case, it could yield big rewards in the long run.
“We’re actually getting two adult huskies and one puppy,” explained Laura Birdsall of nonprofit, Pets in Need.

The plane carrying more than 50 adoptable pets made a stop in the East Bay, where local animal rescue groups are making them available to Northern California families.
“We don’t want to take the animals that are displaced and move them way up here where they can’t find their owners. So, we’re taking the adoptable animals and the animals that were already in the shelters there,” explained Lisa Hammock of East Bay SPCA.
The global nonprofit Greater Good Charities is spearheading the effort. On Friday, the East Bay SPCA received 12 dogs and Humane Society of Sonoma County took in six.

Marin Humane Society and Pets in Need received three each. The rest of the animals onboard continued on the flight to their destinations in Oregon.
“Everybody’s really coming together and something folks can do is support any of these organizations by adopting — by fostering these animals, and of course, by donating to support this stuff,” said Birdsall.
The nonprofits involved say this emergency flight is not a one-off and another is planned for next week. They say they will continue as long as there is a need. HAYWARD, Calif.
