## Resource

Flooding hit the Cowley County Humane Society in Kansas hard—water so high staff couldn’t enter, dogs stood waist-deep. Thanks to a community rush, dog groomers, and Oklahoma shelters, animals were safely relocated. But this isn’t new: the shelter’s ditch-side location and poor highway drainage have caused repeated disasters. The state DOT knows and is working on a fix—but no timeline yet. With sandbags only useful for known storms, surprise downpours leave them scrambling. It’s a heartbreaking vulnerability for an organization devoted to animal care.
