We rescued 5 dogs from North Carolina last week. All but one have found loving homes!

We know many of you have been curious about whether we are able to help pets affected by Hurricane Helene in North Carolina. While we are low on space ourselves, thanks to our wonderful fosters and adopters, we were able to take in 5 dogs and 10 cats from Rockingham County Animal Shelter. We’ve reached out to other organizations in need, and have also offered our building as a resting point for other rescue organizations transporting pets long distances.

Of the five dogs we took in last week to make space in Rockingham County shelter, three were adopted in just a few short days. Kuzto the Husky mix was nervous and overwhelmed by this displacement. Luckily, our team was able to find him a foster home to decompress, and now they plan on adopting! That leaves only one dog from the transfer left, Blondie, a 10 month old medium sized Husky mix, and we hope to find her a home fast!

We will keep you updated on the adoptions to come, and whether we take in more pets from North Carolina shelters to help free up space for more pets that need sanctuary from the terrible flooding.

Thank you so much for all the support, and shout out to our adopters as well as our sponsors at Bank of the James for supporting us this month.
