Planning for Your Pet in the Event of an Emergency


In Northeast Ohio, our families, including our pets, may have to make a quick exit in the event of tornadoes, floods, fires or other emergency situations.  Many emergency shelters will not take pets, so you must plan for your pet’s safety in the event disaster strikes.

•    Make sure ALL of your pets, even indoor cats, are wearing some visible form of identification at all times;
•    Whenever a storm hits, bring all pets inside;
•    Make arrangements with a friend or family member who is unlikely to be affected by the same emergency and who will be willing to provide temporary shelter for you and/or your pet(s);
•    Designate a caregiver for your pet in the event something happens to you or disaster strikes when you away from home;
•    Prepare an emergency evacuation kit for each of your pets.  Keep it in a car or near an exit where you will have easy access in the event of an evacuation.  Each “kit” should include items such as:
o    Medication for 3 days;
o    Food and water for 3 days;
o    Litterbox and litter for 3 days;
o    Cages/carriers;
o    Blankets/towels;
o    Extra collars and leashes;
o    Health and vaccination records;
o    A bowl (collapsible if possible);
o    Pet first aid supplies (tape, scissors, gauze, sterile gauze, antibacterial soap, hydrogen peroxide; splints, self-adhesive bandages, forceps/tweezers, antibiotic ointment; hot/cold compresses).
•    Prepare copies the following documentation and keep copies in your emergency kit, your home, your office, your car, and with a designated caregiver:
o    Documentation of any special needs (feeding, meds, behavioral);
o    A photo and written description of your pet that includes distinguishing features and marks;
o    A list of all identification numbers (i.e. identification, license, and rabies tag numbers, microchip number, tattoo number);
o    Emergency contact information for you, for your pet’s designated caregiver, and for your arranged temporary shelter;
•    Place “Animals Inside” stickers in the doors/windows at every entrance to your home.  If space permits, list the number and type of animals and a phone number where you can be reached.

BE PROACTIVE and BE PREPARED!  You pets are members of your family, so please include them in your family’s emergency planning!

Blitzen


Blitzen is a 5-6-year old lab mix who loves to show affection. He'd be an ideal companion for a quiet evening stroll. He has a happy-go-lucky personality and loves being with people! Blitzen weighs 51 pounds, is neutered and he is up-to-date on shots. He is probably housebroken. Please call 440-885-8014 if you are interested in Blitzen or send us an email

Harlowe


This stunning feline is named Harlowe. She is a 6-year-old female, who has been at the shelter for over 1 1/2 years. Harlowe is very sweet, but may need time to adjust when getting to know you. Once she has bonded with someone, she is a friend for life. She would likely do best in a home without dogs or young children. She would be okay with other cats as long as they were calm. Harlowe is defiantly a lover, not a fighter. If you have the patience to win the devotion of a sweet shy kitty, I would love to come home with you. Harlowe is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered. Please call 440-885-8014 if you are interested in Harlowe or send us an email
