Ice cold temperatures caused a burst pipe, that displaced a number of animals in the Bucks County facility.
Dozens of animals had to be evacuated and were displaced after water flooded the Quakertown facility of the Bucks County SPCA.
The flood came after a burst pipe that was most likely due to the frigid temperatures over Christmas weekend, reports said.“It started with a dripping pipe, and it grew to where there was water pouring through the ceiling,” said Cindy Kelly, the director of communications with the Bucks County SPCA. “By Monday morning we knew we had to evacuate the building. There was no heat and no running water, and there was water coming in...you didn’t know where it was going to start pouring through the ceiling next,” added Kelly.reported. But that still left another 60 animals in Lahaska – in addition to animals that were already hoping for adoption.The shelter said the damage will take weeks to fix. In the meantime, they say they could use donated kitty litter, towels and cash donations.
