FROM SNOW TO SAND Texas Shelter Dogs Find a New Beginning in Florida<br />
According to Austin Pets Alive!, without this transport,<br />
there certainly would have been an increase in<br />
euthanasia due to lack of space in several of these<br />
shelters. Even though the rescue groups in Texas were<br />
working around-the-clock to make sure the animals<br />
were provided the best care, many of the Texas shelters<br />
are open air and did not have the infrastructure to<br />
deal with the winter storm and freezing temperatures.<br />
Many shelters suffered power outages, and some are<br />
still without water.<br />
While at Peggy Adams, all the rescue dogs were placed<br />
under a 14-day quarantine, evaluated, and received<br />
any follow-up medical care prior to being placed up<br />
for adoption. A special thank you to everyone who<br />
made sure these pups felt safe, comfortable and loved.<br />
Winter Storm Uri – which lasted from February 13 th<br />
to February 17 th – contributed to 70 deaths in the<br />
United States, caused massive blackouts, and led to an<br />
ongoing Texas power crisis. Continuing into March,<br />
Texas was still feeling serious after effects of winter<br />
storms that slammed into the south. That is why<br />
Peggy Adams had to step in to help!<br />
On March 3 rd , Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League<br />
led the effort to rescue 70 dogs from 8 shelters in the<br />
Austin area. Peggy Adams coordinated this transfer<br />
flight with Wings of Rescue and Austin Pets Alive! – the<br />
two organizations that have taken the lead in Texas<br />
in managing the rescue of 1,000 most at-risk animals.<br />
The Humane Society of Vero Beach and Indian River<br />
County received 17 of the 70 dogs while the rest went<br />
to Peggy Adams.<br />
