Help Pets Affected by Hurricane Sandy
|
|
Hurricane Sandy has devastated the Northeast and left thousands of pets displaced or in need of food and water. Many pets went missing from their homes as high winds blew doors wide open. Others are suffering from the lack of heat due to power outages on the East Coast. If you are interested in helping these pets, refer to these outlets to make a difference in the lives of animals affected by Hurricane Sandy.
1.) Donate to a humane society located on the East Coast such as the Baltimore Humane Society or the Liberty Humane Society in Jersey City, New Jersey.
2.) Donate $10 to the Humane Society Disaster Relief by texting ANIMALS to 20220
3.) Donate $10 to the ASPCA's animal rescue efforts by texting PREVENT to 25383
4.) Join Petco's National Pet Food drive now through November 11, 2012
