Disaster Information for Pets

Disaster shelters cannot accept pets because of health and safety regulations. Service animals for people with disabilities are an exception. A pet-friendly shelter is now available to county residents living in an evacuation zone or in a mobile home. You must pre-register your pet before going to a shelter.
