The Warriors and Miami HEAT collaborated to assist with the rescue of more than
100 dogs and cats who were displaced from the Miami area due to Hurricane Irma.
Interested in Adopting One of These Pets? Contact one of these organizations:
Peninsula Humane Society/SPCA Marine Humane Humane Society for Southwest
Washington Warriors center Zaza Pachulia, rookie Jordan Bell, Assistant Coach
Willie Green and community ambassador Adonal Foyle were on hand to greet the
animals upon their Bay Area arrival. The cats and dogs, who then made their way
to Bay Area shelters, were originally from Miami area shelters, and their
cross-country move opens up space to accommodate pets that were displaced by
Hurricane Irma.
After spending some time with the Warriors, each of the dogs and cats were taken
to one of the shelters of the following organizations: Peninsula Humane Society
& SPCA, Marin Humane or Humane Society for Southwest Washington.
Whereas the Dubs welcomed the four-legged Bay Area transplants, Miami Head Coach
Erik Spoelstra and veteran forward Udonis Haslem were among the Heat
representatives loading up a FedEx cargo plane with pets, getting them ready for
their cross-country flight that landed in Oakland on Friday afternoon.
The animals will become available for adoption as soon as possible, a process
which depends on each individual animal’s health and behavior – for some this
may be quick, for others this may involve greater help and patience. Anybody
interested in adopting the animals can find out more information from the
PHS/SPCA at www.phs-spca.org, Marin Humane at www.marinhumane.org or Humane
Society for Southwest Washington at southwesthumane.org.
