Dear Friend of Pets Unlimited,
As friends, family and communities continue to recover and rebuild in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, we are all reminded how quickly our lives can be turned upside down. Though no plan is disaster-proof, we believe that everyone can benefit from having a household evacuation plan in place and every plan must include your companion animals. Taking a few minutes to ensure that you have taken these three steps can save days and months of heartache in the event that you are separated from your pet: - Keep up-to-date identification on your pets at all times. Use a properly fitted collar with an identification tag.
- Microchip your pet.
- Have current color photographs of your pet, showing any distinguishing markings and keep them with your emergency supplies. If your pet becomes lost, these photographs will help identify him or her.
As a holiday gift to all of our supporters, we have created a Disaster Supplies checklist chock-full of safety tips and plans for your pet on our Disaster Preparedness page. As a member of the San Francisco Disaster Preparedness Coalition for Animals (SFDPCA), Pets Unlimited is dedicated to providing humane treatment to animals left behind in a disaster. If you are interested in supporting these efforts by becoming an Animal Disaster Service Worker, please visit the SFDPCA website. Happy Howl-idays, Your Friends at Pets Unlimited |
