NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — More animals were flown to Nashville this week from hurricane-damaged areas in Florida.

On Thursday, the Nashville Humane Association took in 21 dogs from a shelter in Manatee County, Florida in partnership with the Humane Society of the United States. The area was hit hard by Hurricane Ian last week. The category 4 storm killed at least 101 people in the state.
