Twenty pets orphaned by the recent deadly Maui wildfires will be finding refuge at the Helen Woodward Animal Center in Rancho Santa Fe this week, starting Tuesday night.
"In the midst of such overwhelming life upheaval, adoption rates are certain to plummet with orphan pets stuck in shelters for the foreseeable future," according to Jessica Gercke, PR & Communications Director at the Center.
"When we asked what Hawaii Animal Rescue Foundation needed, their number one focus was getting orphan pets to a location where they would have a chance at adoption,” said Renee Resko, Vice President of Development at the Center.Bringing the pets to San Diego County to be adopted will allow for more kennel space to open up in the devastated region, according to the Center.
The Hawaii Animal Rescue Foundation has been on the Island of Maui working to locate pets who went missing during the fires and providing care and supplies to those in need, according to the Center. The Animal Center thanks Alaska Airlines, the Lewyt Foundation, the San Diego Foundation, SeaWorld San Diego and the Hawaii Animal Rescue Foundation on the island of Maui for helping transport the pets to the Animal Center.This article tagged under:
