The Humane Society of Sarasota County is making use of private charter aircraft at Dolphin Aviation, operating at Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, to relocate pets that have been displaced by Hurricane Ian. Many of the animals have come from other shelters that suffered major structural damage during the storm and are no longer operational.

The Humane Society of Sarasota County has moved 190 pets out of harm's way, to date, but is asking for more volunteers and donations. (Courtesy photo)
