(WHDH)– Hurricane Dorian’s punishing winds and rising floodwaters have left the island’s most vulnerable inhabitants at risk.

Those dangerous conditions prompted Chella Phillips to take in 97 homeless dogs.

Phillips manages a pet sanctuary called The Voiceless Dogs of Nassau with her brother.

Seventy-nine pups are staying in Phillips’ bedroom just until the storm passes and they can be rehomed.

All of the dogs are doing OK.

Donations to Phillips’ organization can be made here.
