If you can help, contact:
[email protected] The areas of Welch, West Virginia and Hurley, Virginia have been severely flooded. Many homes and some lives have been lost. We are coordinating with HSUS to get crews into the area to help rescue animals. We need the following: +People who have training in swift water rescue.
+People who can drive to the area and transport animals to otherfacilities.
+Shelters to provide housing for animals. Please check with your local
shelter if you are in Southwest VA or the Roanoke Valley and see if they have space and would be willing to care for pets. We need to know exactly how many animals they can take, whether dogs or cats and if dogs, whether they can accept large or small dogs. Please e-mail me ASAP if you have any information that can help with this disaster or you can provide assistance.
