The Jacksonville Human Society is asking for volunteers from the community. Those who can temporarily care for dogs and cats while Idalia approaches are asked to volunteer.“We are asking families to serve as “Storm Troopers” and host a dog or cat for a sleepover until at least Fri., Sept. 1.,” JHS said in a statement. “This is a great opportunity for our pets to ride out the storm with a family inside a cozy home instead of at the shelter.
JHS also said that depending on the path of the storm, the humane society might be open on Wed., Aug. 30. It is important to check the JHS website and social media channel for updated opening hours and closures depending on the storm’s track.“Strom Trooper” families will be helped by JHS staff members and volunteers in selecting the animal that best fits your home.
“There’s no better way to ride out a scary storm than with a loving family!” JHS CEO Denise Deisler said. “We are grateful that we can always count on the compassion of the Jacksonville community to help care for pets in need during times like these.”
