Have you planned for you AND your pet in case you must evacuate?

June 1st through November 30th is hurricane season, and the Humane Society of Greater Miami urges you to prepare now in the event that you will have to evacuate your home because of a storm. It is important for you to plan now to avoid last minute surprise and confusion when a storm is approaching. It is possible to evacuate with your pet if you plan ahead!

The Humane Society offers a free hurricane guide containing disaster preparedness tips and information about the two pet-friendly evacuation shelters for people offered by Miami-Dade County. You can view and print the guide by clicking on the link below (get a free copy of Acrobat Reader here if needed). 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, go to www.officialpethotels.com.
