WHAT AMAZING THINGS YOU HELPED HAPPEN!
Dear SCR [Second Chance Rescue] Friends,
We are truly blown away by the outpouring of generosity from so many of you these past few days.
The sense of community and love has been astounding.
We have been working relentlessly with our partner rescues, Dallas DogRRR, and Tall Tails Rescue since we found out that our friends at Tall Tails Rescue were affected by Hurricane Harvey. The dams were opened, and as a result, many feet of water flooded the property and compound. Kat and Kevin managed to initially get about 100 animals off the compound to dry land, but many of the other animals were left behind when they were forced to evacuate. However, ALL DOGS/ANIMALS WERE SAVED FROM THE COMPOUND, AND THIS IS A MIRACLE!!!!!! We lost touch with Kat for many hours when her phone died, and she and Kevin along with the 100 plus animals were stranded all night until we could get help. We had no idea who was alive and who was not.
Many of the animals (100 plus) are now temporarily at a makeshift disaster shelter at a senior center in Irving, TX where DALLAS DOGRRR are assessing them, triaging them, helping with medical, walking and feeding them, cleaning, and partnering with other rescues to help place them.
The animals will stay at the center until we have them all assessed and accounted for etc. then we will be transporting them to another location. Updates to follow. This is going to be a long road to recovery.
If you want to help in some capacity these are the ways you can:
DONATE
Dallas DogRRR currently has the dogs in their care and we are working alongside them to help with medical, supplies, transportation of the animals, resources for boarding 100 plus dogs/cats, rehabilitation etc.

FOSTER
If you are able to foster one of our dogs to help make space for the Harvey Relief Dogs please consider fostering one of our boarding dogs. Many people want to directly help a Harvey Dog and this is one of the most effective ways you can do that.

This is the pavilion where many of the dogs were kept when they were first rescued from the Tall Tails Rescue compound. They were waiting for the convoy to come and transport them to safety in Dallas.
This is the makeshift disaster shelter where the dogs are currently being held.
This is Mcbeth, one of our dogs that were boarding at Kat and Kevin's medical boarding facility. It is truly a miracle he is alive!
