A nonprofit organization in Orlando is offering to find homes- both temporary and permanent for pets affected by this past weekend’s mass shooting.
The Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando’s offer is extended to the pets of those still in the hospital, and those belonging to the victims that were killed.
The Pet Alliance wrote:
“For the past 80 years, it has been our honor to provide care and support for cats and dogs that need our help. There may be victims that have pets that need care and shelter. We realize that not every family or friend will be able to care for a beloved dog or cat that may have lost its owner.”
The best way people out of the area can help is by donating online, where there’s also a wish list of pet food and other necessities.
According to BarkPost, no one has requested the Pet Alliance’s help yet, but “but the current confusion we understand that it may be days before the full impact of this tragic event is known,” said Chris Butler, the alliance’s marketing manager.
Butler continued that local foster homes have already come forward and offered to care for the animals left behind, for as long as necessary.
