    Dog Rocko seemed to be thrilled to be out of danger and in his temporary housing.

    Wachter explained that, even if the storm did not directly injure dogs such as Rocko, the canines would have been indirectly hurt.

    "People in the storm affected areas are not able to visit shelters as they normally could for adoptions," she said. "We are trying to take the pressure off of these shelters and to give the dogs a chance at finding permanent homes."
