Hurricane Helene: Dozens of dogs need temporary homes as storm approaches

With Hurricane Helene on the horizon, Fulton County is urgently reaching out for help as approximately 46 dogs are in dire need of temporary homes. Lifeline Animal Project, which initially reported 60 dogs needing assistance, has noted that many of these animals still lack a safe refuge as the storm approaches. The organization is appealing to the community for both temporary and permanent housing solutions to ensure these dogs have shelter from the impending weather conditions. This situation serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by local animal shelters during natural disasters and the critical role that community members play in offering support. The call for action is not just about finding homes for these dogs but also about raising awareness of the broader implications of hurricanes on animal welfare.

Residents are encouraged to consider fostering or adopting to help alleviate the burden on shelters. As the storm draws near, the need for quick action is paramount to protect these vulnerable animals. This initiative highlights the importance of compassion and community solidarity in times of crisis, particularly for those who cannot speak for themselves.
