Residents in North Carolina show up for local shelter animals to help keep them safe through the duration of Hurricane Florence.
Founder of Saving Grace Animals for Adoption, Molly Golston, tells The News & Observer, “We have a very small facility. It used to be an old farm. We aren’t set up to take care of [the animals] if there’s no power.”
Molly goes to local animal shelters to foster dogs that may otherwise be euthanized.
With all those residents showing up to help, all 124 dogs that were at Saving Grace before the hurricane hit are in foster homes!
One foster parent shared a photo on her twitter of her fellow residents lining up outside Saving Grace animal shelter to help the homeless animals.
The line of folks waiting to pick up foster dogs for the weekend so coastal shelters can evacuate here before #HurricanceFlorence. Many more behind me. Sometimes humans are okay. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/niyCRDygOV

Posted to the Saving Grace Animals for Adoption Facebook Page, “We are so grateful to our community for supporting us this week as we have saved dogs from shelters to make room for dogs displaced by the storm.” Continued, “We have assisted with multiple hurricanes and disasters in the past, but this one is hitting especially close to home. We need your support not only to care for the dogs we have taken in this week but those who are to come after Florence’s devastation. We are prepared to help where needed and look forward to providing love, medical care, supplies and safety to dogs in critical need in the weeks to come.”
