Pets Orphaned By Hurricanes Harvey And Irma: DuPage County Seeks Donations
Donate food, blankets, litter, and other items to DuPage County Animal Care and Control to help pets left without homes.
DUPAGE COUNTY, IL — The havoc caused by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma left many pets without homes in Texas and Florida, and local shelters are stepping up.
From coast to coast, animal organizations have taken in as many of these displaced cats and dogs as possible, but they struggle to find enough resources to care for them. To help shelters in Texas and Florida, County Animal Care and Control coordinators are asking for residents to make donations.
These pets need a lot of supplies to get back on their feet! You can donate the following items.
