This Labor Day, September 2, 2019, Lucky Dog Animal Rescue evacuated 19 Lucky Dogs from the path of Hurricane Dorian. Volunteers have stepped up throughout the DC Metro Area to provide temporary shelter to these new arrivals.

 

“Not only is the Florence County shelter within the cone of possible catastrophic impact, but, in the event that coastal South Carolina is severely impacted, the shelter must be prepared to house owned animals in mandatory evacuation zones ” said Mirah Horowitz, Executive Director and Founder of Lucky Dog Animal Rescue. “As the coastal areas started to evacuate in South Carolina, we realized last night we had to clear out as many dogs as possible from Florence.”
