The Humane Society of Pulaski
County is trying to figure out how to keep animals safe and healthy without power.
"We're keeping everybody as dry
and warm as we can," said Director Kay Simpson.
Like most Arkansans, the
shelter lost electricity on Christmas night. 400 animals need to keep warm including
cats, dogs, nursing babies, and injured pets.
They have a small
generator on loan but it's not enough for all the animals, according to
Simpson.
"We had some bedding stuck
back for an emergency. We had enough for three days. Last night we used the
last of it so we're asking for help from the public so we can keep the animals
as comfortable as we can until we get power back," Simpson said.
The Humane Society can use
newspapers, rugs, comforters, and blankets as bedding. For more on what they need and how to donate,
