An animal shelter in Delaware County, Pennsylvania is looking for help adopting and fostering more than 20 dogs rescued in the wake of Hurricane Helene.

Providence Animal Center in Media received the dogs on Sunday, Oct. 6 from shelters in rural southern Georgia that are currently working to rebuild and reunite pets with their families after Helene barreled over the southeastern United States.

"These dogs were already homeless before the hurricane," explained PAC's Chief Operating Officer Victoria Kinden. "What we did was open spaces for them to help in the areas that are having issues, so that they have open kennels to help those displaced dogs, so that someone can come find their pet while down there."
