Escambia County Helps Fly Hurricane Impacted Dogs, Cats To San Diego
October 19, 2018
On Thursday, Escambia County Animal Services, Friends of the Escambia County Animal Shelter, and the Humane Society of the United States loaded 63 dogs from hurricane-impacted shelters in Bay County onto a cargo plane for transport to a partner shelter in San Diego, where they will be made available for adoption. Thirty additional dogs on board the plane were taken from the Escambia County Animal Shelter in order to make room for additional animal transfers from hurricane-impacted shelters.
An Escambia County Animal Shelter staff member was on board the plane and helped transport the animals when they arrived in San Diego Thursday afternoon.
Since Hurricane Michael, Escambia County has taken in 156 cats and 91 dogs to be transported to partner shelters for adoption.
Another flight on Friday was set to transport about 150 cats and two dogs to Seattle.

There are people still looking for their fur babies and yall are sending these babies to California to be adopted out. The grey and white one looks like one posted missing on missing pets hurricane Michael facebook page. With all the pet food being donated this could have waited a few more weeks.
