On Wednesday, when Hurricane Matthew was approaching the coast, authorities ordered the evacuation of some million people, about half of them in the Jacksonville area. And the sheltered animals’ foster parents were supposed to be giving them back. ’A great experience’Layendecker was not surprised that some foster parents couldn’t part with their new furry friends. The tropical storm, which became a hurricane on September 29, barreled through the Caribbean before lashing the United States.
