MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, FLA. (WSVN) – Nearly two dozen golden retrievers who were saved from slaughter and meat markets in China have landed at Miami International Airport to meet their new families and head to their new “fur-ever” homes.

The 20 canines touched down at MIA on Sunday, just in time for the holidays. Their rescue was made possible thanks to Golden Rescue South Florida, an organization dedicated to helping golden retrievers across the state and now around the world.

Officials with Golden Rescue said the mission to save the dogs from dangerous and potentially deadly conditions took place after a rescue in China contacted the organization asking for help.
