Volunteers,Shelters continue their relief efforts in South after brunt of storms in Mississippi and Missouri
CNN repost by Mickey's Pet Supplies
As severe weather continues to hit the US, volunteers and non-profits are doing their best to keep up with the demand, especially when it comes to displaced and injured pets.
As the Mississippi river continues to flood towns in its vicinity (even though some of this flooding is intentional, it doesn't make it any less traumatic for those being affected), shelters are stepping up their game and helping animals that are way outside their jurisdiction.
The Broward County Humane Society based in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida is one of those shelters; bundling up pets from a few different Mississippi-based shelters and driving them all the way back to Florida, where they are currently up for adoption. The Washington Animal Rescue League is another organization reaching out to disaster areas, saving pets in both Alabama and Missouri.
With this newest tornado hitting Joplin, Missouri exceptionally hard this past weekend (according to a CNN report it's one of the dealiest tornados in US history) , no doubt extra volunteers and shelters will be needed for both the people who have lost everything and the pets who were either left behind, or are now, sadly, without owners.
If you're thinking of adding furry companions to your household this spring, adoption makes more sense every day.
Please consider adopting a pet. If you have room in your heart and home their are many homeless pets looking for a lot of love. If you would like to donate to help- The American Humane Association in association with A.S.P.C.A.and Red Star Animal Rescue Services are working in the disaster areas.
