Animals were transferred from Athens Animal Rescue Shelter located in Athens, Humane Society of Cedar Creek Lake in Kemp, and Humane Society of North Texas in Fort Worth. This is a remarkable collaborative effort, demonstrating the deep commitment and compassion of the entire animal welfare community to meet the needs of these vulnerable animals, President & CEO of the ASPCA Matt Bershadker said.
Three ASPCA vehicles got the animals to the airport and the animals were then transported to Brandywine Valley SPCA in New Castle, Delaware, and St. Hubert s Animal Welfare Center, in Madison, New Jersey. The flights today will free up nearly 100 kennels so we can reopen our shelter on Sunday to the public for intake and adoptions, Humane Society of North Texas Director of Communications Cassie Davidson said.
