100 dogs travel from Texas to New Jersey following hurricane

MADISON, N.J. – Close to 100 dogs from Texas shelters are travelling to New Jersey to help make room for animals displaced by Hurricane Harvey.

Debra Miller, spokeswoman for St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center, tells NJ.com (http://bit.ly/2iGbag0 ) moving the dogs from the shelters will help families affected by the storm stay close to their pets.

Miller says the animals will be housed at their centre in Madison after they arrive Tuesday. She says the dogs will rest for meals and walks before being transported to sister shelters in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and other areas.

St. Hubert’s works with the Humane Society to accept animals or send staff to emergency situations. The centre recently tended to dogs from California after the massive wildfires last year.
