Shelter animals cleared from Milton’s path find refuge with animal rescue network

Rescue shelters across the US provided housing for animals that were evacuated before the hurricane struck

Hurricane Milton, the category 3 storm that battered many parts of Florida, displaced not only residents but also already vulnerable animals in shelters.

Shelters in the state, particularly in cities on the west coast such as Tampa, Sarasota and others, had to scramble to figure out where to relocate their animals ahead of this week's storm. Luckily, rescue shelters in other parts of the country have joined in the effort to help those down south.
