Dogs Rescued From Puerto Rico Arrive at St. Hubert's
St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center in Madison, New Jersey is helping find homes for dogs and cats rescued from earthquake-ravaged Puerto Rico. The pets were evacuated from damaged, overcrowded shelters to make room for other animals displaced by the quakes.
On January 19, an emergency transport flight carried 116 shelter animals from Puerto Rico to Florida, Delaware and New Jersey. 140 shelter animals were evacuated on a second flight on February 9. The flights also dropped off disaster relief supplies on the island. We thank Wings of Rescue, GreaterGood.org and The Sato Project for flying these life-saving missions.
Some 60 dogs and cats came to New Jersey on the two transport flights into Morristown Airport. St. Hubert’s and our partner shelters are finding them new loving homes in New Jersey and around the northeast.
Helping animals in need after natural disasters is an important mission for St. Hubert’s. We welcomed animals from Puerto Rico after the devastation of Hurricane Maria, and helped animals in the wake of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma as well.
