Hundreds of residents of Hawaii’s Big Island have fled their homes following the Kilauea volcano eruption. Some left behind not only most of their belongings, but also their beloved pets.
In the two weeks since fountains of lava and poisonous gas spewed from the volcano, volunteers have made heroic efforts to retrieve dogs and cats, geese and ducks, cows and goats, horses, cattle and exotic birds. Many were reuniting with their owners at evacuation shelters.
Burgandy Singleton, a Hawaii Island Humane Society volunteer, said the animal-friendly Red Cross shelter in Pahoa, has about 100 dogs and 30 cats, along with bunnies, birds and pigs.
