It is hard to believe that we just passed the tenth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. In the past decade, awareness of the need to plan for pets in times of disaster has increased, including the PETS act to ensure pets and their people aren’t left behind in a disaster.
Send new adopters home with the tips they need to be prepared right from the start. Petfinder provides information on creating a disaster preparedness plan and pet-specific shopping lists to help your adopters stock up on necessary supplies. Infographics make it easy to share disaster related guides with your social media followers.
Be sure to take time for your own planning. Whether you are a single-pet foster parent or a full service animal shelter, have a plan in place for all the pets you’re caring for, as well as your own pets.
Wishing you and your pets a safe rest of the summer, |
