Amid the deadly flooding in central Texas, animal rescue groups are working tirelessly to shelter displaced pets, relocate them, and ensure their safety until they can be reunited with their families.Marc Peralta, chief program officer at Best Friends Animal Society, quoted ABC News, said, “When the floods occurred, we knew right away from other emergency response situations, such as the fires in Los Angeles, that we have shelters that are full of animals and what we are going to need in any event like this was to make room for displaced pets, lost pets and provide that relief for families that are already going through complete tumultuous situations to maybe have one less thing to worry about.”In response to the crisis, Best Friends Animal Society and its partners airlifted around 130 cats and dogs, allowing them to take shelter in the community, stay safe, and, hopefully, reunite with their families.
