Lewis From Loving April
Oh Pupsters! The first weekend in October brought us lots of rain!
It’s been raining cats and dogs! Well, SC is in a state of emergency with historical rainfall and devastating flood waters. Many of our animal shelters in South Carolina have been damaged, and many pups are in need of places to stay! Here are some of the places I have found helping pups and their hoomans in need!

Food distribution for pet owners in need:
The National Animal Rescue and Sheltering Coalition (http://narsc.net/) is working with @SCEMD to provide pet food distribution for pets displaced by floods. If you are the owner of a pet in need of food, there are currently 5 pet food distribution locations in the Midlands. Contact your local Emergency Operations Center to let them know of your need and NARSC will be happy to accommodate you!
