It’s not just humans that were displaced by flooding after Hurricane Harvey hit Texas this week. Pets are in need of some help too.

The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office is helping PALS Atlanta collect cat litter and dog and cat food and toys that will be delivered to shelters and pet owners in need.

The Gwinnett County Detention Center is located at 2900 University Parkway in Lawrenceville.
