Wings of Rescue transports 90 pets to Best Friends and 11 Network Partners in Utah to make kennel space in Texas following the flood.

Heavy rainfall and flooding are slowing, but are still impacting communities surrounding San Antonio, including areas affected by last year's floods. Best Friends is working closely with Austin Pets Alive! (APA), Footbridge Foundation, and Hill Country Humane Society who are serving as the primary receiving shelters for animals from impacted communities.Read more

Today, with help from Wings of Rescue, we flew 88 dogs and cats from APA and Footbridge Foundation to Salt Lake City- some will go to the Best Friends Pet Adoption Center in Salt Lake, and others to partner organizations that have space to help. These animals were already at the shelter prior to the floods; no lost pets that came in because of the floods are being transported out of the area until every effort has been made to reunite them with their families.

Additional support coordination is underway with the Humane Society of North Texas, Houston Humane Society, Operation Kindness, SPCA of Texas, and our Best Friends Lifesaving Centers.

Devastating floods are hitting the San Antonio, Texas, area with additional rain and flooding expected in the coming days. Best Friends is providing support by sending supplies to shelters in need, including Footbridge Foundation, Hill Country Humane Society, and Austin Pets Alive!, which are providing direct support to shelters in the impacted areas.

Wings of Rescue will be flying 100 adoptable dogs and cats to the Best Friends Pet Adoption Center in Salt Lake City from Austin Pets Alive! to make room for pets impacted by the floods.Read more

For those who want to help, adopting or fostering from one of the above listed organizations will make room for animals affected by the floods. Those wishing to volunteer are encouraged to complete this form.
