Nine wriggly beagle mix puppies and two adult dogs were airlifted this week from a shelter in Tennessee to what is hoped will be their forever homes in Nebraska.

The dogs eventually will be put up for adoption through Nebraska’s Animal Loving Advocates and Petfinder, said Angie Hospodka, president and founder of NALA.

Hospodka said the dogs came from the animal shelter in Tipton County, Tennessee, and an advocacy group there, Friends of the Tipton County Animal Shelter, did the necessary work at that end to make it possible to fly them to Omaha.

Animal advocacy groups across the country collaborate to ferry animals from shelters where they will be euthanized to locations with available foster or adoptive homes. Scatter Joy Acres, an animal rescue ranch in North Omaha, is among the groups assisting.

These puppies were flown to Nebraska this week as part of a long-running effort to match animals at risk of being euthanized with people wanting pets. Adoptions will be handled by the organization, Nebraska’s Animal Loving Advocates.

9. Wonderful. My son's little pitty came from NC.

They're in a nice walking area in Brooklyn, near Prospect Park.

Some southern states don't take care of people, much less pets. Strange but we're moving back - for one reason only: those big beautiful E. Tenn mountains.

Those little critters deserve a chance to bring some people years of love and companionship.
