GREAT FALLS — A heartwarming rescue mission made a stop at the MacLean-Cameron Animal Adoption Center on Saturday, October 4, 2025, bringing hope to 36 dogs who were scheduled to be euthanized in Bakersfield, California.
The dogs are traveling to no-kill homes in Canada as part of a life-saving partnership between non-profit Marley's Mutts and BARCS Rescue.
During their journey north, the animals stopped at the Great Falls adoption center for a much-needed break and walk.
All 36 dogs already have foster homes lined up in Canada.
For many of these rescued animals, tonight will mark the first time they'll sleep in a loving home.
The rescue represents a second chance at life for dogs who would have otherwise faced euthanization due to overcrowding at California shelters.
