MADISON COUNTY, AL (WAFF) - 10-year-old Jordan Hagan of Madison is enjoying her time with a beautiful Weimaraner.
"He's very tamed, he's a very good dog," said Hagan.
"We're calling him Buddy, because he responded to that. We don't actually know his real name," Hagan added.
"Buddy" showed up after last Wednesday's storms.
So far, a half dozen dogs have shown up at Huntsville Animal Services. These dogs are believed to be lost from the storm.
Inside the shelter's building they're collecting things for those who have their pets, but not much else.
Huntsville Animal Services is taking donations in the form of dog and cat food to take to storm victims so they can feed their pets.
It's not just meals, but old towels or blankets, even food and water bowls are appreciated.
Jeremy Eslick with Huntsville Animal Services says many people are finding pets, but cannot feed them and provide care.
"First of all if you find a pet, make sure you return that pet to that area," said Eslick.
He says taking them to a shelter close to where you found them gives them a better chance of being re-united with their owner.
While 10-year-old Jordan Hagan and her family are able to harbor their new buddy, they know it's also important for "Buddy" to get back home.
"My mom said there might be a little girl who loved this dog, and it makes me kind of sad because he ran away," said Hagan.
