Venezuelan Government and Shelters Rescue Hundreds of Pets After Earthquakes
Following devastating earthquakes in Venezuela, hundreds of pets have been rescued in the affected areas, particularly in La Guaira and the Caracas neighborhood of San Bernardino. The Venezuelan government project, Misión Nevado, led by Maguildas Vargas, has been instrumental in these efforts, rescuing at least 648 pets, including dogs and cats. Many of these animals were found injured, suffering from fractures, traumas, and other injuries. They are currently receiving veterinary care and shelter. Efforts are underway to reunite these pets with their owners, with at least 18 successful reunions reported so far. Social media is being used extensively to help locate the owners of these pets, with numerous posts circulating to spread awareness.
