Animal welfare agencies everywhere are helping to Spread The Humanimality in the wake of a busy hurricane season for the Gulf Coast states.

Largo, Fla.—SPCA Tampa Bay received 30 homeless dogs from Louisiana SPCA on Monday, August 31.

This year will be different when it comes to fireworks displays. Most towns are cancelling the big fireworks events due to COVID-19.

This could potentially be scarier for dogs.
