ORLANDO, Fla. - The Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando spent Saturday rescuing more than 200 animals from Louisiana and Alabama shelters that could no longer care for them following Hurricane Ida.
The Central Florida shelter posted photos of all the dogs and cats that will be looking for their forever homes.
Pet Alliance, as well as receiving dogs and cats, acted as a rescue hub for the transfer where 12 Florida state rescue groups were ready to bring these pets to their shelters.
