-A Few Things To Remember During a Disaster-
 
TAKE YOUR PETS WITH YOU!
THEY ARE AS MUCH A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY AS A CHILD IS!
YOU WOULDN'T LEAVE A CHILD BEHIND,
SO NEVER LEAVE YOUR PET EITHER!
 
Do NOT Leave Your Pet Anywhere Close to
Where the Storm/Disaster is Going to Hit,

Locked in a Cage, Tied Up, or Somewhere They May Become Trapped

Such as a Shelter, House, Vet, Groomer's, Etc.

If You Must Leave Them in a Shelter, or Trusted Person's Home, Etc.
Find One in Another City or State, Far Away From the Disaster Zone,
 Not in Danger of Being Hit!
 
 
I hope we've all learned, from the suffering of Hurricane Katrina's Pets, that buildings do get flooded and animals trapped in cages, rooms, etc. barbarically and painfully die, in horror, while their inclosure's slowly fill with water.

 

 

If you haven't seen the news reports about this, here's what happen:
 
"The Emergency Rescue Team lead by Diane
saved the lives of 21 precious animals from the Humane Society
of South Mississippi. This Gulf Port shelter was completely
destroyed and yet these 21 animals managed to swim in their
cages for over 7 hours to stay alive."

"In Mississippi, many pets were either left to fend for themselves
in the powerful winds or trapped in flooding cages as owners fled."
