“Horses and animals like that, they really sense the weather before it happens. So a lot of them are already a little bit more nervous and excited,” said Linnea Wood, equine manager for the Houston SPCA. “And I feel like they’ve all handled it really, really well.”

If necessary, the SPCA said it has boats ready to respond to pet rescues in the event of flooding.
