It's heartbreaking for the staff and it's devastating because these animals are all highly adoptable.\"\u003cbr/\u003e              The island territory has struggled with dog overpopulation for years due to factors such as poorly funded shelters and low spaying and neutering rates.\u003cbr/\u003e              It's common to see packs of what locals refer to as \"satos\" roaming through Puerto Rican communities, and one stretch of coast near the town of Yabucoa became so infamous for abandoned and abused pets that it was dubbed Dead Dog Beach.\u003cbr/\u003e              Activists in Puerto Rico and on the mainland have been working on the problem and say there are signs of improvement.\u003cbr/\u003e              They say fewer dogs are ending up on Dead Dog Beach thanks in part to a campaign to spay and neuter in Yabucoa. \u003cbr/\u003e              But there have also been setbacks, including a deep economic crisis that led many islanders to decamp for the mainland and leave their pets behind. \u003cbr/\u003e              While various organisations have airlifted dogs out of Puerto Rico in recent years, this latest effort is believe to be the largest number in a single trip. \u003cbr/\u003e              Most of the animals came from two shelters: one in the hills above Mayaguez that has a hard time finding people to adopt its animals because it is so remote, and another near Cabo Rojo that had to clear its entire population for a badly needed renovation. \u003cbr/\u003e              The dogs were checked by veterinarians, taken to the San Juan airport and then flown in two planes provided by a group called Wings of Rescue. \u003cbr/\u003e              They landed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where one planeload of dogs was destined for shelters around the state. \u003cbr/\u003e              The other aircraft went on to North Carolina, with its canines continuing on to various shelters including Animal Haven in New York City where Tiffany Lacey, the Executive Director, said they would have \"completely different\" lives.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"They are going to find a loving family to take care of them for the rest of their lives,\" she said as one little girl looked at the just arrived puppies vying for her attention, wriggling in delight on the other side of the glass of their shelter door.\u003cbr/\u003e              About two dozen more ended up in air-conditioned pens at a facility run by the Humane Society of Broward County in Fort Lauderdale.\u003cbr/\u003e            \u003cbr/\u003e\u003cbr/\u003e              New York - 24 August 2017\u003cbr/\u003e              1.
