EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS of ASPCA Efforts Following Hurricane Harvey’s Destruction
The ASPCA Disaster Response team is still on the ground in Texas, where we continue to assist animals that have been displaced by the powerful storm. Over the past week, the ASPCA has been working tirelessly in our efforts to relocate shelter animals, move supplies, rescue and shelter displaced pets, and provide other resources where they’re needed most. While we continue to do so, we want to share with you some photos taken of our deployment during this devastating natural disaster.
