Pets Rescued in Iowa Flood
Over 1000 dogs and other animals were affected by the flooding around Cedar Rapids, IA in June of 2008. The HSUS, EARS, and others set up a temporary shelter to house rescued pets, as well as those pets whose owners stayed in temporary housing that did not allow pets.
Suzy volunteered at the emergency shelter June 26 through July 4. You can view her photo gallery or visit her Blog to read about her experiences, find links to information about rescue efforts, and learn how you can help.
What can you do to keep your pets safe in an emergency?
You may think you aren’t at risk because you don’t live under direct threat of floods and tornadoes. However, there are many disasters that could require home evacuations such as a wildfire, chemical spill, train derailment, or house fire. Suzy has written an article which provides great ideas for keeping your pets safe.
