“Without the help of fosters, donors, and volunteers, we would not have been able to save and care for all of these creatures – and our already overcrowded shelter! We thank you everyone from the bottom of our hearts, from the fosters who waited in line for over two hours to help provide an animal a safe and dry home to stay, to the great donors who showed up with carloads of much-needed things, to the online fundraising support “APA! exclaimed the speaker.

“However, we still have a lot of work to do. We must continue to care for the animals we have already rescued while also preparing for the arrival of even more animals in the coming days.”

By the end of the week, they expect to have transported 1,000 animals to their rescue.
