The non-profit, Guardians of Florida Animal Rescue spoke with Fox 4 about its need for adoptions and facility improvements after Hurricane Ian.
The organization’s President, Sherri Lee-Mercury spoke with Fox 4’s Colton Chavez about how busy things have been over the past year.
“Last year our intake was just under 700 and our adoptions were just under 600. I believe that we are making an impact in the community. We are trying our best out here,” said Mercury.
