66 Dogs And Cats Airlifted From Florida To Delaware

66 dogs and cats airlifted from Florida to Delaware during the throes of Hurricane Ian are now in the Brandywine Valley SPCA shelter.

As we know, Hurricane Ian ran through Southwest Florida leaving only traces of what once was in some areas. Miles and miles of devastation lay in parts of Florida where people once lived and vacationed.

The Brandywine Valley SPCA stepped in to help shelters in Florida so they could make room for displaced pets.

According to their website, the BVSPCA teamed up with Petco Love and Wings of Rescue to orchestrate the first rescue airlift from impacted areas of Florida following Hurricane Ian’s devastating landfall. The flight carried dogs and cats that were adoptable in shelters prior to the storm.

The Humane Society Naples has been pulling shelter animals from across the heavily damaged areas of Collier, Lee, Sarasota and Highland Counties.

Relocating these homeless pets allows the sending shelters to focus on recovering and being a resource for local family pets displayed during the storm. The dogs and cats were evaluated by the medical team at BVSPCA and are up for adoption at the West Chester Campus as of Tuesday, October 4^th.

The BVSPCA works hard every day to help lost and stray animals, cruelty victims, and pets needing rehoming. They are still doing their daily job of servicing our local community while aiding in efforts of relief in other states. They need your support to help the homeless pets and people of Florida at this critical time. Make a donation to support this disaster relief work and consider welcoming one of these rescues into your home if you’ve been thinking about adopting.
