WAUKESHA, Wis. (CBS 58) -- As Louisiana continues to deal with rain and flooding from Hurricane Francine, Wisconsin animal shelters are stepping up.
A plane with 86 dogs left Louisiana on Saturday, Sept. 14, dropping off 30 of those dogs in Waukesha.
About two dozen volunteers from HAWS and other area shelters showed up to unload the dogs and greet them with a friendly face.
HAWS says even amid their own overcrowding, it was important to step up as Louisiana shelters face Hurricane Francine.
"Very chaotic, one we pulled this together very quickly because so many of the shelters were without power or were having issues," said Erin Robbins, vice president with Greater Good Charities. "Some of the shelters are damaged so they were just getting inundated with an influx of post storm pets."
The dogs will be evaluated and get some baths before they will eventually be up for adoption in the coming days.
