A dog rescuer in the Bahamas has taken in nearly 100 canines to shield them from the rain and powerful winds as Hurricane Dorian lashes the island, a report said Monday.
The woman, Chella Phillips, who runs the rescue The Voiceless Dogs of Nassau, Bahamas, opened her doors to 97 pups amid the hurricane, she wrote in a Facebook post Monday.
“97 dogs are inside my house and 79 of them are inside my master bedroom. It has been insane since lastnight, poop and piss non stop but at least they are respecting my bed and nobody has dared to jump in,” Phillips wrote in the post.
She pleaded for donations to help care for the homeless pooches and added that she’s saved a total of about 1,000 dogs since she started the rescue about four years ago.
“Each island has abundance of homeless dogs, my heart is so broken for the ones without a place to hide,” she wrote.
In a phone interview, Phillips told news station WFTS that she lost power and has some water in her home, but her and the dogs are safe.
