MIDDLETOWN, R.I. (WPRI) — After Hurricane Helene tore across the Southeast, Rhode Island has taken in 14 dogs from a shelter in South Carolina.
The dogs arrived at the Potter League Rhode Island around 8:30 a.m. on Thursday.
“We are hoping that these dogs get adopted quickly so that we have some space so we can call them again and try to help them some more because they are dealing with so much,” Potter League CEO Brad Shear told 12 News.

Volunteers with Friends of the Aiken County Animal Shelter (FOTAS) lost power during the storm and are now unable to wash the animals’ bedding and toys.
The Potter League has partnered with FOTAS since 2012, and this is part of a regular transport between the shelters they do about twice a month.
