Asa was taken in by Pets Alive – Middleton (NY) as Hurricane Florence hit the Carolinas.

Anna at Suruluna plays with one of the Hurricane Florence “refugee” dogs.

Two Bear’s Angels partners from New York State, Suruluna and Pets Alive in Middleton, took in dogs from southern shelters affected by Hurricane Florence. As the storm approached the coasts of North and South Carolina in September, many homeless animals were moved out of regional shelters due to safety concerns as well as to make room for the stray and lost dogs and cats that would need rescue during and following Florence. 

The Tortorella Family Foundation was pleased to provide grants to Suruluna and Pets Alive for their kind assistance to the transported animals they welcomed to their facilities. Please visit www.suruluna.org and www.petsalive.org for a list of supplies they could use to help these animals.
