You can be a hero for dogs affected by disaster! The County’s Department of Animal Services is looking for people to help put a happy wag in the tales of several dogs recently rescued from Hurricane Delta in Louisiana by adopting or providing a temporary foster home for one.
Animal Services, the San Diego Humane Society, the Rancho Coastal Humane Society and the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility teamed up to rescue about 90 dogs a week ago in collaboration with “Wings of Rescue,” which flew the dogs from overcrowded shelters and rescues in Louisiana to San Diego County.
As part of the rescue effort, Animal Services said Wednesday they’re now taking adoption calls for the nine dogs Animal Services took in.
“It’s a great opportunity,” said County Animal Services Director Kelly Campbell, “these dogs were literally saved from an impending hurricane.
“People naturally have a soft spot in their hearts for animals saved from disaster,” Campbell said, “and I would love for us to have people who are interested to have the opportunity to help these dogs.”
