Tennessee Animal Advocates Help Flooded Pike County Animal Shelter
This past weekend, Gina Austin, the founder of Lab and All Breed Rescue Network, led a group of animal advocates in hauling a horse trailer, filled with pet supplies, from Brighton, Tennessee to Pikeville. The resources, donated from communities in Mississippi as well as the Greater Memphis area, were brought to help the flooded-out Pike County Animal Shelter, which has been included on the FEMA disaster declaration. Pike County Deputy Judge Executive John Doug Hayes says the damage to the shelter was caused by a mine blowout, and work will be conducted to seal or drain the mine workings.
