Local animal shelters prepare for 100+ animals impacted by Hurricane Helene

Local animal shelters and volunteers are preparing for the arrival of more than 100 shelter pets impacted by Hurricane Helene on Wednesday morning at the Waukesha County Airport. “They might not make it down there, and we’re giving them another chance at life,” said Cindy Szymek, a volunteer with the Humane Animal Welfare Society (HAWS). She has helped with dozens of transports during her 14 years of volunteer work. This time, HAWS in Waukesha, along with several other Wisconsin shelters, IS gearing up for one of their largest transport operations to date. “Hurricanes, especially around this time of year, are a common reason we help, but this is a bigger number than our typical transport,” said Maggie Tate-Techtmann, executive director of HAWS. The animals are coming from Florence, South Carolina, where they were all housed in shelters before the hurricane struck. As shelters in South Carolina receive an influx of displaced pets from other states, they need more room. HAWS, in partnership with the nonprofit Greater Good Charities, stepped up to take already-sheltered pets to Wisconsin shelters.
