What You Should
Do With Your Pets
 
You should make plans before an emergency for taking your pets with you if you need to evacuate. Most emergency shelters will not accept pets. They will only allow service animals, such as dogs used by visually impaired people.

You should contact friends or relatives in other areas to see if you may bring your pets to their homes in the case of an emergency or take them to “pet-friendly” hotels. To find Pet-Friendly hotels - you can link to www.google.com and type in "pet-friendly hotels."


Link to the Kings County section on Animal Disaster Preparedness and Safety for more information on what to do with your pets during an emergency. We will be developing a Complete Animal Preparedness Section in the near future.
