“As all of you know Julia and I enjoy doing work in and around the animal world. We were recently contacted regarding a dire need. A rescue of 400 animals previously planned to be euthanized will begin on Tuesday (February 6). We have all worked very hard to place these animals in rescues and we’ve gotten VERY close,” read the statement posted by the Cup Series driver.

So far, the locations these animals will be sent to are Statesville, St Louis, Allentown, and Providence. As per the statement, the dogs will be transported by an aircraft on Thursday. For the 37 dogs without a home yet, Daniel Suarez implored rescue shelters that will be able to take them in and also provided an email address for them to contact.
