Saline County Humane Society representatives have returned to the local animal shelter in Bauxite after making an emergency trip to Louisiana to assist with a rescue operation that began with pets displaced by severe flooding.

“But the majority of the dogs are going to be brought into Atlanta, screened by our shelter medicine team, and then transported north to shelters that have a low population with a high demand for adoptions”, said Corina.
