The Houston SPCA evacuated 57 dogs and 28 cats from the Humane Society of Southeast Texas in Beaumont. The Houston SPCA received a call from the Humane Society’s Executive Director who said she needed assistance with an emergency evacuation. Houston SPCA President Patricia Mercer led the team of rescuers who also delivered food, water, and cat litter to a boarding kennel and provided water and emergency care to two stray horses.

The animals evacuated from the Humane Society of Southeast Texas will be health checked by the Houston SPCA veterinary staff and treated for any medical conditions. Some of the animals evacuated from the Humane Society of Southeast Texas may be available for adoption at the Houston SPCA in the next several days.

The Houston SPCA plans on returning to the region if more evacuations and animal rescues are necessary. People needing pet-related information can call the Houston SPCA Animal Emergency Hotline at (713) 802-0555.
