100+ pets rescued from Puerto Rico arrive in Richmond (Va.)

https://www.nbc12.com/2022/10/06/100-pets-rescued-puerto-rico-arrive-richmond/

130 dogs and cats were aboard the Wings of Rescue flight from San Juan, Puerto Rico, to Richmond. They are some of the thousands who need saving from the streets of San Juan that were devastated by Hurricane Fiona over two weeks ago.

Treloar said the rescue wouldn’t be possible without the help of Petco Love -who donated $62,000 - and Wings of Rescue, who provided the flight.
The special delivery was handed to animal rescue groups across Virginia, including Richmond SPCA, where 10 of the dogs will be put up for adoption.

He said nearly 3,000 more pets still need saving from Puerto Rico.

“I’m going back on Saturday to fly some more that are going up to Chicago,” Browde said. “Where there is a need, we will be there.”

and I need some reassuring sometimes.

I’m donating to the SPCA today. We’ve gotten two cats (RIP) and our boy - doggy- from there.
