Do
you shelter animals during a single-family tragedy?
No. We are
not an Animal Shelter. At times of
large disasters, we may set up a Temporary Animal Shelter in the field
to assist
evacuated residents with their animals, but we have no permanent
facilities to
house animals. Local animal
shelters frequently have facilities to assist at these times. Please contact the following Shelter in your
area:
