Woman takes in nearly 100 stray dogs after Hurricane Dorian hits the Bahamas

Phillips took in as many strays as she could find on the streets. In a Facebook post, which subsequently went viral, she said that 97 dogs were in her master bedroom.

“We may not get hit as hard as other islands and the saddest part is that after the hurricane leave the Bahamas, some islands will take a long time to recover.. Each island has abundance of homeless dogs, my heart is so broken for the ones without a place to hide a CAT 5 monster and only God can protect them now,” she wrote in her post.

Asking people to donate crates to take care of the less fortunate, she also appealed for financial help for her agency to take better care of the stranded animals.

“It was either leave the dogs on the street to fend for themselves…or do something about it,” Phillips told ABC News. “I just want these dogs to be safe. I couldn’t care less about the dog poop and pee in my house,” she said.

She won hearts online and many came forward to donate as her post went viral.

“I don’t want to put them on street. They don’t deserve that. So I want for people to help me,” Phillips told NBC News. “Help me adopt them, take them home.”
