Just a few weeks after Hurricane Harvey response, the Animal Rescue Team is now ready to deploy to areas affected by Hurricane Irma.\u00a0We are currently in communication with agencies throughout Florida. Some areas that Hurricane Irma was not expected to hit have found themselves in the storm\u2019s path, and plans are quickly unfolding to keep animals safe. We have also begun transporting animals to make room in local shelters, and there will likely be an ongoing need to relocate animals after the storm passes.<\/p>\n

St. Bernard Project<\/a><\/h3>\n

SBP was founded in March 2006 following Hurricane Katrina.

Based on continuing needs, additional tractor trailer loads will follow.<\/p>\n
