The Jacksonville Humane Society is looking for volunteers in the 'Storm Troopers' program to host an adoptable dog or cat for a sleepover until at least Monday, allowing pets to be with a family as the wind and rain howl instead of at the shelter.
"There’s no better way to ride out a scary storm than with a loving family," CEO Denise Deisler said."We are grateful that we can always count on the compassion of the Jacksonville community."
To participate, visit the society at 8464 Beach Blvd. from noon to 7 p.m. Wednesday. If there are still pets in need of storm foster families after Wednesday, the shelter will also be open noon to 4 p.m. Thursday.The Florida Times-Union has made this article free of charge for all readers in the interest of public safety.
