Texas flooding: Over 60 pets arrive at APA! after severe flooding in Kerr, Williamsion counties

AUSTIN, Texas - About 60 pets have been relocated to Austin Pets Alive! following severe flooding in Kerr and Williamson counties over the last 24 hours.

What we know:

APA! says it has been in Kerr County with a veterinary team helping to triage incoming animals impacted by the flooding.

The organization was able to completely clear out the Kerr County shelter, allowing them to house lost pets closer to home.
