PET SHELTERS
IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT!
Pet shelters may or may not be opened – depending on the size, scope, magnitude, expected
duration of the storm and whether or not there are mandatory evacuations. It is critical that
you be a responsible pet owner by becoming informed about pet shelter openings!
LISTEN to the radio for information about the opening of a pet shelter.

IF A PET SHELTER IS OPENED AND YOU TAKE YOUR PET TO THE SHELTER:

Bring your pet’s vet papers & meds to the pet shelter
Bring your pet’s food to the pet shelter
Give the shelter your contact information

Remember that pet shelters are for pets only so you will have to say a “temporary
goodbye” to your pet. Your pet will be safe and in good hands!
