All of it is so sad and devastating. Hug your loved ones, 4-legged and 2, as much as you can…every.single.day.
This is someone’s beloved pet, recovered lifeless from the floodwaters in Texas.
The news talks about homes and human lives lost. As they should. But the animals are usually left out. Forgotten. Silenced.
As an animal welfare organization, we can’t help but think about them - because that’s what we do. The dogs swept away in rivers. The cats hiding under debris. The deer, birds, and opossums - all the wild lives taken or displaced when nature turns violent.
Entire communities are underwater. People have died. And countless animals - domestic and wild - are gone, injured, or waiting for owners who may never come home.
Over 40 miles of river are being searched for animals lost, injured, or dead. Volunteers are working around the clock to rescue survivors, recover the deceased, and reunite animals with families.
One such group on the ground is Kerrville Pets Alive along with Kerr County Animal Services. They’re recovering animals, providing medical care, and trying to bring survivors home. If you see animals displaced by these floods or want to help, contact them directly:
