Over 100 animals flown to safety after Texas flooding

Best Friends Animal Society, Wings of Rescue, and Austin Pets Alive! are joining together to help pets found during the catastrophic flooding by flying them to safety.

KERR COUNTY, Texas - The nonprofit Convoy of Hope is helping Texas flood victims by giving them "blessing buckets," which include a Bible, water, food and personal hygiene items.

The Texas Hill Country received four months of rain in just two days last week, causing devastating flash floods that led to the deaths of at least 120 people, including 39 children. Additionally, more than 160 people are still missing after the flood event.

As survivors try to rebuild their lives, officials with Convoy of Hope have begun working with local partners to bring in much-needed supplies.

"When people receive help, they know they are not alone," Convoy of Hope officials said.  

One of the local partners is Gateway Fellowship Church Kerr County, located in the county that was hardest-hit by the floods.
