Dozens of animals affected by hurricanes were headed to Evansville Friday. WNIN’s John Gibson reports:
The Vanderburgh Humane Society says it's taking in 26 dogs and 16 cats from Pinellas County Animal Services in Florida.
That county includes the hard-hit St. Petersburg area.
The VHS says local staff will accept the animals for care and eventually adoption.
The agency says by transporting animals that were available for adoption pre-storm out of the region, Pinellas County Animal Services will be better positioned to take in and care for displaced animals in their community.
The VHS says that will increase the chances of pet reunions in Florida.
The agency says the local community can help by adopting, fostering, and/or donating to the VHS.
