More than two dozen dogs and puppies rescued from the deadly Texas flood zone are ready for forever homes after being flown to a Chicago shelter. PAWS Chicago received 31 pups this week from no-kill organizations that coordinated to move the animals out of the flood-stricken region, including Austin Pets Alive! and Choncho Valley PAWS.

Nearly two dozen displaced puppies and dogs from a rescue organization in Texas arrived at PAWS Chicago late Monday night after a 500-mile plane and van journey, with more on the way as the shelter works to rescue the pets from the devastating flash floods.

PAWS Chicago is taking in cats and dogs from shelters in Texas that were affected by the deadly flooding there.
