The Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons and Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation, together with a number of local shelters, have just reached a very furry agreement with Puerto Rico. Dubbed "Operation Puppy Love," the Latin American country has agreed to send about 100 dogs and a number of kittens to the United States for adoption, reported The East Hampton Patch.

The furbabies coming from Puerto Rico are all rescue animals, which means that each one, before going to the United States, was fortunate enough to be rescued from a very dire and difficult life in the Latin American country. The El Faro de Los Animales shelter in Humacao, Puerto Rico stands as the partners of its American counterparts in the operation.

Operation Puppy Love was the brainchild of David Brownstein, an avid animal-lover and a board member of the El Faro de Los Animales shelter. For his project, he contacted the ARF, the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation, Monmouth County SPCA and the Humane Society of Atlantic County.

The Puerto Rican rescue dogs and cats are set to arrive at Gabreski Airport in Westhampton on Saturday, after which they would be taken and distributed among the American animal shelters. Once in the shelter, the animals are set to be quarantined until cleared by a veterinarian. After that, however, they would be up for adoption.

Operation Puppy Love is not the only pet-friendly drive happening between Puerto Rico and the United States, however. In Waterville, Maine, a group of rescue dogs, also from the Latin American country, have reached the U.S. on Wednesday, reported WLBZ News.

The dogs were also rescued from the streets of Puerto Rico by All Sato Rescue, a group dedicated to rescuing dogs and other animals off the streets. They were sent to the U.S. through a project coordinated by the ASPCA and Subaru, dubbed the "Share the Love" event.

Unlike the rescue pups and kittens arriving on Saturday, however, the dogs who arrived in Waterville were picked up at the Humane Society Waterville Area immediately by foster families upon arrival. Of course, the foster families are not permanent homes for the rescue pets, and as such, the humane society stated that it the group is still on the lookout for possible forever homes for the pups.

The two batches of rescue pets are just the beginning, however, as more dogs from the Latin American country are set to be brought to the Coastal Humane Society on Tuesday.

For the dogs that have already arrived and those that are set to arrive on Saturday, it is quite certain that their Valentine's Day this year would be a pretty good one indeed.
