flag A nonprofit in Alaska, Bethel Friends of Canines, is airlifting dogs from the flood-ravaged village of Kipnuk to Bethel, a regional hub 90 miles away, after severe flooding from Typhoon Halong’s remnants destroyed homes and forced residents to evacuate. flag With no roads and pets excluded from official evacuations, the group has chartered small planes to transport dogs, often in crates, at a cost of $3,000 per flight. flag Dozens of dogs have been rescued, with at least eight already reunited with owners in Anchorage and Nome. flag The nonprofit, which usually shelters 15 to 20 dogs, has raised over $22,000 through social media appeals to cover expenses. flag With homes likely uninhabitable through winter and no permanent solutions in place, rescuers are racing to save animals before the villages are fully depopulated.
