Last week, PETA staff members were busy calling hundreds of client families in the affected areas to warn them about the storm and encourage them to take their animals indoors. Our rescue team is pleased to report that many residents heeded these warnings and brought their animals inside before the storm hit!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image  size-large\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Matthew-Floods-Dog-on-Porch-602x452.jpg\" alt=\"matthew-floods-dog-on-porch\"\/>\n<\/figure>\n<p>On Sunday morning, PETA&#8217;s teams were able to help rescue an injured raccoon and a lost dog who was in need of shelter.
