SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - More than two dozen pets rescued from Hurricane Fiona in Puerto Rico will soon be available for adoption in South Florida.
Thirty dogs and cats were flown into Miami Executive Airport, Saturday afternoon.
Their arrival comes days after 20 dogs and 10 cats arrived at the Humane Society of Broward County.
Santuario de Animales San Francisco de Asís, Inc., the facility that was caring for the animals in the commonwealth, sustained extensive damage from the hurricane.
While a lot of pets have been rescued, those responsible for bringing them to South Florida said some are still stuck on the island.
“They still need help. There are more dogs that need be transported, I think, right now, to New York, so if anyone is watching and they can help, please, by all means,” said Dr. Claudio Miro.
The Humane Society of Broward County has taken in the animals and will find them new homes. For more information, click here.
