Chippie Reunited with Owner
The best days are the days we get to reunite lost pets with their owners!🐱🐾 Chippie was brought to HSSC by a wonderful community member, after the cat had shown up in her yard. Because sweet Chippie had a microchip, we were able to contact the owner. Turns out, CHIPPIE HAD BEEN MISSING AN ENTIRE YEAR! What a sweet reunion it was!🩷🩷🩷 We're so glad these two are back together for the holidays!

Lifesaving Superhighway Takes Flight
HURRICANE MILTON RELIEF: LIFESAVING SUPERHIGHWAY TAKES FLIGHT!✈️🐾 Thanks to Cathy Bissell & BISSELL Pet Foundation, more than 100 adoptable cats & dogs from shelters impacted by the storm headed North to facilities in Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois & Ohio!
The transport out of Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) with Wings of Rescue was a collaborative effort between HSSC, Pasco County Animal Services, Gulf Coast Humane Society, Humane Society Naples & Collier County Domestic Animal Services to create the much-needed space in our shelters to support our local communities in the wake of disaster. The animals on the flight were all adoptable prior to the hurricane, and we're so excited for their new adoption opportunities!💙
Thank you to all of the amazing shelters welcoming our animals: Wisconsin Humane Society, Green County Humane Society, Shiawassee Humane Society, Capital Area Humane Society, Ingham County Animal Control and Shelter, Anti-Cruelty, Sandusky County Dog Kennel & Friendship Animal Protective League! We're missing our sweet babies, but we know they are in incredible hands!
Shout-out to our friends at Dolphin Aviation for helping us load our precious cargo!🐱🐶
