Disaster
Relief: F.A.S.T. (Florida Animal Sheltering Team) HELP
Spearheaded
by the S.P.C.A. of Central Florida, this program was developed to alleviate
already full animal shelters in the state during times of disaster or
serious or severe overcrowding. Animals that have been relinquished
by their owners, or strays that have completed their legal hold time,
may be moved to a participating shelter partner.
Since the
SPCA of Central Florida is located in the center of the State, we have
often been called on to help our agency friends from Jacksonville to
the Keys. We have accepted companion animals from shelters who have
experienced the worst that Mother Nature has to offer… including
fires, floods, tornadoes and hurricanes. We have even provided temporary
shelter to some unusual animals, including a wolf and two cougars, which
needed to be relocated because of fires near their wildlife refuge!
For some
agencies, shelter overcrowding can lead to the euthanasia of otherwise
adoptable pets. To help these shelters, and the pets in their care,
we have gladly taken in pets from overcrowded shelters as far away as
North Carolina and Alabama.
The
SPCA of Central Florida is committed to providing a second chance at
life for these pets in need.
