SEATTLE – Another group of dogs rescued from the California wildfires has arrived in Seattle.
They need a new forever home because Los Angeles shelters are full of pets that have been separated from their owners.
FOX 13’s Shira Matsuzawa was there when the plane full of pups landed.

The Seattle Humane Society receives pets from the wildfire area of Los Angeles County
The animals landed at Boeing Field on Sunday afternoon and are now on their way to the Seattle Humane Society.
By the numbers
In just 25 minutes, about 35 dogs and 12 cats landed in Seattle. Then, one by one, they were taken off the plane and loaded into cars. Dogs and cats of all sizes.
So far, more than 250 dogs have come into Paws for Life’s care as they continue their partnership with the Seattle Humane Society.
We caught up with the Humane Society’s director of animal care, Ali Wasmer, and the shelter’s supervisor of care, Jacob Beardley, after the flight arrived in town.
What are they saying?
“You feel good, don’t you? You get your adrenaline pumping watching these little guys whack their tails and knowing it’s been a long day for them. They are probably very tired. It was raining in Los Angeles when they left, which is really different for these guys.”
“Our mentality is that it doesn’t matter if we serve the Seattle area or just everywhere, we take in animals from all over the state and the country. So when there are natural disasters that happen, we really try to do our best to participate as much as possible and make a difference wherever we can,” the humane society representative continued.
The Seattle Humane Society says it’s a team effort with Paws for Life and Wings of Rescue. They are asking if anyone can adopt, adopt or donate, please do!
