Relocating orphaned pets will allow dispatch shelters to focus on emergency response for pets of local families displaced by the storm.
“As soon as we saw the devastation left in Helen’s wake and the potential path of Hurricane Milton, we began preparing,” said HSHA & BVSPCA CEO Adam Lamb. “Like many shelters across the country, space at our shelter is limited, but in times of crisis our community comes together to support our disaster response expertise and help those in need. We know we can answer the call to help more animals.”
