Saga thanks island residents for fostering pets during the storm
During the hurricane season, typically from June through October, the region is most susceptible to heavy rainfall and strong winds that can develop into damaging storms. As bad weather approaches, residents and business owners put much effort into securing their homes, families, and business spaces. Safety preparations also need to be made for pets, and the Saga Humane Society relies on the community's crucial role in fostering pets in need during these challenging times.
