The damage caused by Hurricane Helene is being called "catastrophic", "biblical", "apocalyptic", and "unimaginable". The powerful storm devastated communities in several states, including Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina, and Tennessee.

Homes and businesses have been destroyed due to mudslides and extreme flooding. Roads turned to rivers making them impassable and millions are still without power. At least 100 human deaths have been confirmed, with thousands still missing. Numerous animals have also perished.

Join us in saving the lives of 100 shelter pets in devastated areas by flying them to freedom in Wisconsin. This will not only give these homeless dogs and cats the change to find a loving home but will also free up kennels for the countless displaced pets.

North Carolina Governor, Roy Cooper, said, "People are desperate for help — and we are pushing to get it to them. Please know that we are sending resources, and coordinating closely with local governments, first responders, state and federal partners, and volunteer organizations to help those impacted by this tragic storm." He went on to say, "This is an unprecedented tragedy that requires an unprecedented response."

Together, we can help those in need.
