Season is Here! |
Have
you planned for you AND your pet in case you must evacuate?

June

Society of Greater Miami/Adopt-A-Pet urges you to prepare
now in the event that you will have to evacuate your home

avoid last minute surprise and confusion when a storm is approaching.
It is possible to evacuate with your pet if you plan ahead!

Humane Society offers a free hurricane guide containing disaster
preparedness tips. Go to our website for a list of pet-friendly
hotels and boarding kennels in Greater Miami, Broward, Palm
Beach, Naples and other surrounding areas that may accept
your pet in the event of a hurricane, including information
about the new pet-friendly evacuation shelter for people offered
by Miami-Dade County.You can pick up the guide at either of
the Humane Society's locations
