Local rescue organizations such as SPCA of Texas and Austin Pets Alive have transported hundreds of animals from the affected areas to their shelters or foster homes.
Over the weekend, Austin Pets Alive! has saved over 235 animals from Harvey's direct path. Within 24 hours later, the number has risen by nearly 100.

"We would not have been able to save and care for all of these animals - and our already full shelter - without this outpouring of support from fosters, donors, and volunteers, alike! From the fosters who waited in line for over two hours to help give an animal a safe and dry place to stay, to the amazing donors showing up with carloads of much needed items, to online funding support - we thank you from the bottom of our hearts," APA! said.
"However, there is still a lot of work ahead of us. As we continue to care for the animals we have already saved, we have to prepare for even more animals who will need us in the coming days."
They project that they will have evacuated 1,000 animals to their rescue by the end of the week.

An image of a dog named Otis has become a symbol of "Texan resiliency".
"This dog is walking around Sinton TX carrying an entire bag of dog food with him," Tiele Dockens said. The smart German Shepherd mix held onto the food to ensure his belly never went empty. The photo eventually led his owners to reunite with him.
