Plan Ahead for Your Pets' Safety!  In times of emergency, your furry friends depend on you! Here are some essential tips to ensure their safety:

 

Be Prepared: Have all carrying equipment ready and accessible. Some shelters may request proof of vaccination, so keep that handy. If you have a service animal, don’t forget their identification. Ensure they have up-to-date tags and microchips!

 

Create a Plan: Develop an emergency plan tailored for your pets.

 

Stock Up: Keep trash bags, food, and litter on hand to avoid last-minute scrambles.

 

Don't wait until it's too late! If you have large animals, plan to evacuate early. If evacuation isn't possible, leave tags with your pet's name and leads next to their stalls.
