It's now or never for Hurricane Irma animals

Animal control operations in the danger zone have been flooded with cats and dogs ahead of Hurricane Irma.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Animal control operations in the danger zone have been flooded with cats and dogs ahead of Hurricane Irma. Furkids has taken in more than 20 dogs abandoned in South Georgia. Tomorrow, we open our doors to about 50 cats and dogs from shelters in Effingham and Long Counties.

People can run, but there's little chance for helpless animals to escape. They're terrified and in terrible danger!

Here's what you can do, right now:
* Adopt a Furkid. This weekend, September 9 and 10, is the PETCO National Adoption Weekend. When you adopt, you make room for Irma's furry refugees and Furkids gets credit from PETCO to save more animals. Find us this weekend at selected PETCO locations and our dog and cat shelters. We've dropped our adoption fees for this weekend as an incentive.
