Unfortunately, one of the effects of Hurricane Sandy was to force pet owners to give up their beloved pets. People lost homes and most shelters will not allow pets. Most will face euthanization if an adoption doesn't happen soon.
San Diego's premier shelter for homeless pets located in Rancho Santa Fe, The Helen Woodward Animal Center, received 60 of the homeless New York and New Jersey pets on Friday November 17th.
Spokeswoman Jessica Gercke said the pets will be checked out and vaccinated before allowing them to be adopted. Many of the pets, mostly dogs, are small in stature and should be adoptable.
A Southwest Airlines pilot and crew devoted their time to transport the pets.
