Acting on a request from local animal control SARC Manager Steve Carriere accompanied Rosalie Bonney the Hamilton County Animal Control director to a property found to have over 20 dogs on site and the elderly owner in immediate danger. As the storm approached and made landfall resources were coordinated through several partnerships including Florida Urgent Rescue Humane Society Tampa Bay SPCA Florida and Hamilton County Emergency Management to begin the rescue of these dogs after the owner agreed to surrender them. The owner was later admitted to the hospital for emergency care and eventual transfer to long term rehabilitation.
