In the wake of Hurricane Florence, ASPCA responders remain on the ground in North Carolina to continue to assist animals displaced by the storm and the communities impacted. In the past week, we’ve conducted animal search-and-rescue, brought food and supplies to pets in need, and worked tirelessly alongside local agencies to provide emergency sheltering for 150 animals affected by severe flooding.
We’ve also helped to ensure the safety of many of the affected communities’ homeless animals by evacuating them and placing them with animal welfare groups in areas safe from the storm’s impact. While our response efforts are far from over, we want to give you an inside look at what we’ve seen on the ground, ongoing rescue efforts, and, most importantly, the animals who are now out of harm’s way.
