Hurricane Harvey is expected to make landfall and hard hit shelters have been ordered mass euthanasia of all homeless animals.
Rescue groups in affected are bracing themselves for the worst. While keeping themselves and their families safe, they are also expected an influx of displaced and critical animals.
Redemption Dogs is asking for the public to rally together to help the affected animals and the mass casualties of animals expected (on top of those that are being put to sleep as we type this).
We will be keeping this blog post live for the duration and aftermath of the hurricane. We will do our best to connect rescue and resources at this time.
**If you are a rescue group who is in need of assistance OR if you are a rescue that can take in extra dogs into your rescue, please email nicole@redemptiondogs.com**

My name is Maria and I am in southern Oregon. I run a rescue here. If there is anything or any way we can help please let us know. 541-362-1663 may God watch over you all, and the poor innocent dogs and cats left behind.
Thanks so much Maria! Please send me an email to nicole(at)redemptiondogs.com
Im not a rescue organization however I’m in magnolia, tx. We live in a few acres. Our property did not hold water at all. I can help with fostering dogs in need. I’m familiar with helping stray, lost and abandoned animals.
Hey Shayla! Feel free to email me at nicole(at)redemptiondogs.com and we can chat about how we might be able to work together to help some of our canine friends!
Many thanks for this list of shelters. I just donated $50 to each one listed.
Thanks also for your updates. Hopefully we can avoid the 250K pets who died or lost in Katrina.
Thank you so much Francesca! That is incredibly generous and I’m sure all of those rescues greatly appreciate it!
We are a couple, whom would love to help and adopt a recue dog. I have heard today, a truck load of dogs being brought into Toronto Ontario Canada.
Is there a Canadian website, I can visit in order to rescue and adopt a dog, from Hurricane Harry.
Thank You for your time and reply~ <3
Hey Rosane! We will have more info about dogs available for rescue in the coming weekend. Follow us on Facebook or here. We will post when they are available for adoption!
Hi. I’m interested in adopting a dog. Just wanted to know if there are any hypoallergenic. We had a standard poodle but he passed away.
Thanks
Joel
