Wayne's Blog: Search and Rescue for Pets in Storm-Torn New York and New Jersey
From Wayne Pacelle's blog: "Yesterday, I joined our Animal Rescue Team on the ground in New Jersey, trying to provide relief to people and animals in one area within the larger Hurricane Sandy impact zone. The disaster team I connected with is stationed in Monmouth County, with its coastal towns sitting just across the bay from Staten Island. Sandy hit the most densely populated city in America, New York, and also the most densely populated state of New Jersey."
