100+ Unwanted Texas Dogs Arriving in Western Washington

Everett, WA – Project Freedom Ride (PFR),  a non-profit based out of Sedro-Woolley, Washington  has partnered with Klein Honda of Everett, Washington to rescue 100+ unwanted dogs from high kill shelters in Texas.  It is estimated that thousands of dogs get euthanized daily in shelters in Texas and PFR focuses on saving those they can.

The rescued dogs will depart  Texas on January 26th, 2018 and travel over 2,000 miles through California, Oregon and into Everett, Washington where they will arrive at Klein Honda sometime before noon on Tuesday, January 30th.

Through a series of reference checks and Skype/FaceTime interviews, Project Freedom Ride arranged direct adoptions of approximately  thirty of the dogs  in California, Oregon and Washington. Several of the dogs will be delivered to those forever homes as they make their way to Klein Honda in Everett.  These forever families have agreed to adopt the dogs without ever meeting them.

Supporters and donors are key to their success.  Thanks to the generous donation from Klein Honda of Everett, PFR was able to arrange this large transport and save these 100 dogs from being euthanized.

Project Freedom Ride has received a lot of attention recently after 6-year old Roman McConn’s video went viral. Roman is the 6-year old son of the mom who started PFR. View Roman, the 6-year old who helps save shelter dogs video by clicking here.
