Cleveland APL is Looking for Homes for Dogs Affected by Hurricane Matthew
Seventeen dogs from South Carolina, displaced due to floods from Hurricane Matthew are at the Cleveland APL and need homes.
CLEVELAND, OH — The Cleveland Animal Protective League (APL) received seventeen dogs this week from flood-ravaged Horry County in South Carolina. The Horry County Animal Shelter needed to clear out their cages in order to provide shelter for the dogs that have lost their home and owners as a result of Hurricane Matthew and massive flooding.
The Cleveland APL happily accepted the call from the The Humane Society of the United States who stepped in to help the shelter. The majority of the dogs were already available or close to being available for adoption and will be available here soon for adoption.
The Cleveland APL is a part an emergency lifesaving collaboration that allows shelters in flooded areas to focus their efforts on providing care for displaced animals who hopefully can be reunited with their families.
