Hurricane Florence N.Carolina Rescue
Donation protected
The devastation in the Carolinas is already crippling. Reports are pouring in from areas as they are being engulfed by the storm surge & brutally battered by torrential rains and wind.
We will be working together on gathering supplies and donations this next week and driving them down to people & animals in Need who have been displaced on account of Hurricane Florence.
We will also be pulling dogs from local shelters while working in partnership with other rescues from the Tri-State area, in order to aide in making room for animals displaced by the storm.
*Note* Any dogs pulled for rescue/transport to the tri-state area will NOT be displaced pets. They will be animals who were in the shelters BEFORE the hurricane and are at hightened risk of euthanasia to make space for incoming animals. Once again as a larger community of people, we need to come together to do our part. If you can find it in your heart to make a tax deductible donation toward these efforts, please do so via the GO FUND ME link below. If you have items you would like to donate, we will be collecting them in Ozone Park Queens.
Some Items needed include but are not limited to: Water and food bowls Toys Flea/tick prevention Medication Leashes and collars (Slip leads) Pet beds Crates/Carriers Water Cleaning supplies Wee Wee pads Old newspapers Paper towel and toilet paper rolls Old towels and blankets Hand sanitizer Wet dog/cat food Dry dog/cat food (NON OPENED) Clumping cat litter Non-clay cat litter (for kittens and post-op cats) Dog/cat treats Rain Boots Batteries Flashlights Garbage bags Ziplock Bags THANK YOU in advance for your support.
