Seattle Humane helps pets flown in from Arkansas

This spring, devastating storms led to historic flooding in parts of the South, leaving families and their pets vulnerable and homeless. Thanks to support from our community, today Seattle Humane is helping animals from Arkansas.

Yesterday we greeted a plane carrying nearly 200 cats and dogs who were previously surrendered or found as strays prior to the floods. None of these transferred animals were separated from their families during or after the storms. Instead, a life-saving flight helped bring pets already housed in five Arkansas shelters, allowing the facilities the resources to help lost and stray pets found in the flood’s aftermath.

This life-saving transfer is one of the first in a summer that is predicted to bring more than 1,670 displaced pets into Seattle Humane’s care through our Life-Saver Rescue Program.

Dodger, a Catahoula Leopard dog mix, is now safe at Seattle Humane along with nearly 50 of the 200 other puppies and kittens, cats and dogs rescued from Arkansas. Four additional Washington state animal shelters participated in this weekend's rescue operation.

You can help bring more pets like Dodger to safety when you
make a life-saving gift today.
