Alaqua is working with state officials and will be the evacuation site for shelters that are in the path of Hurricane Milton, which is currently a deadly Cat 5 storm. There are hundreds of animals in immediate need of safety.
We need your help:
- Supplies: We are purchasing kennels available from area stores and as far away as Dothan. You can help by donating to assist in these purchases and we will need people to pick help assemble them here on property.
DONATE: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/sfcpsj/
- Volunteers: We love volunteers! If you are already a volunteer, send a note to Wendy to let her know you can help. If you are not, please FILL OUT THIS FORM: https://alaqua.org/how-to-help/volunteer/ Under the "specialty training" tab, please write EMERGENCY VOLUNTEER and we will reach out with needs and scheduling.
- Lodging: Teams from across the state will arrive to help and there are no hotels. If you can help these amazing humans with a place to stay, please email your name, number, and what is available to info@alaqua.org
UPDATE: It looks like we have plenty of transporters at this point.
We need transporters for dogs flying in on planes. This will begin tomorrow morning.
We always need linens, dog bowls/buckets, collars and leashes, and large crates - wire or airline. No food is needed.
Thank you and prayers to all in the path of the storm.
