            <p>While Hurricane Harvey wreaked havoc across the Texas coast and all over southeast Texas, animal shelters in the Austin area braced themselves in anticipation of helping shelters in areas that were hit the hardest.</p><p>As weather experts predict more rainfall in the coming days and residual effects from the storm, shelters are seeking the public&rsquo;s help in preparing for the influx of animals who will be displaced from the bad weather.</p><div class="ad" id="article_mid1_0" data-model-settings="{&quot;ad&quot;:{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;article_mid1&quot;,&quot;div&quot;:&quot;article_mid1_0&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[[300,250],[320,50],[1,1]]},&quot;targeting&quot;:{&quot;pgid&quot;:[&quot;468660909&quot;],&quot;pgtype&quot;:[&quot;article&quot;],&quot;strnativekey&quot;:[&quot;2YNEkKMk1QC5WsCndTXLDYVB&quot;]}}"></div><p>Here&rsquo;s how you can help in the Austin area:</p><h3><strong>Austin Pets Alive!</strong></h3><p>Over the weekend, APA! said it saved more than 235 animals in Harvey&rsquo;s path. Although it said its shelter was already full, it credited the many people who waited in line for hours to become fosters, and the many donors who showed up with carloads of supplies, in making this feat possible.</p><p>Still, it said the job is not done. APA! said it has been receiving reports from shelter partners in areas that were hit the hardest that they are expecting an influx of animals in the coming days, including people needing to surrender their pets.</p><p>On Wednesday, APA! announced that it expecting several hundred more animals and opened a temporary location at 7711 Burnet Road, Suite 7723.
