Sacramento SPCA takes in 4 dogs from Maui Humane Society
SACRAMENTO – Four dogs that were already in the shelter when the deadly fires hit Maui will soon be looking for their forever homes in California.
The Sacramento SPCA announced on Thursday that four dogs had been flown over from the Maui Humane Society.
"They reached out to see if any other shelters could help displace some of the animals that were already in the shelter," said Dawn Foster with the Sacramento SPCA.
Maui shelters have taken in about 300 animals due to the destructive wildfires. About one-third of those animals have been reunited with their owners.
More than 100 animals that were already at shelters in Hawaii have been transferred out of Maui to make room.
Sargeant, Rolly, Skippy, and Ruth will all be soon up for adoption out of the Sacramento SPCA.
Each dog is settling into their space. SPCA staff are reviewing their medical records and notes from foster families back home.
Once behavioral and physical examinations are done, the dogs will go up for adoption.
Sacramento SPCA expects the dogs to start being available next week. People interested in adopting the animals should check the shelter's website for updates.
