Animals rescued from Helene come to Virginia – The River 95.3
While first responders are working to save lives in the recovery from Helene additional teams are working to rescue animals from the Carolinas.
Nearly 100 animals were delivered to Homeward Trails in Delaplaine and Fairfax station October 1 according to Northern Virginia Magazine.
The coordinated rescue effort involves teams in the Carolinas preparing the pets for transport to Richmond and volunteer drivers ready to take them to Northern Virginia.
The challenge lies in logistics in an area with no cell service or internet with flooded roads and the needs of local shelters according to WTOP.
Shelters were already taxed to the limit that coupled with a natural disaster creates and even harder problem.
Volunteers and more importantly foster homes are needed to help with these animals along with supplies.
If you can help at all contact Homeward Trails to support them in anyway you can.
