Shadle Park Provident Living: Disaster Plan for Your Pets

We pamper our pets with all kinds of silly items, I even crocheted a reflective safety vest for my dog.

They become members of our families, yet when we make our disaster plans, those very same pets are often overlooked. We don't do it on purpose, it just happens.

These animals rely on us for food, shelter, love and protection. We have taken on the commitment to care for them. Sounds just like our responsibilities to our children.

Hurricane Katrina brought about the glaring need for creating a disaster plan for our pets as well as ourselves.

A quick trip to the Humane Society of the United States website will take you to a Disaster Plan for Your Pets

Additionally the following websites also contain plans for pet/animal owners. Check them out, find a plan that works for you or take bits and pieces and make your own plan. Either way, keep your furry friends in your thoughts as you prepare.
