There are continuing reports from areas hit by Hurricane Ike pet rescuers. Many pets and animals were spared from the horrors of Hurricane Ike but many other animals were not so fortunate–such as thousands of livestock who were not evacuated.

Many equine rescue groups are onsite working to help while others are working to help injured wildlife and pets and to help contain the escaped tiger.

You can read more at the Pet Examiner and get additional tips and hints from Miami Dade Animal Services Disaster Preparedness page.

I might sound like a broken record but please download the Animal Disaster Guide now and take steps to prepare for the worst.

Help Hurricane Animal Victims

By

I read this article on Hurricane Gustav & Hurricane Ike from the AP Wire this morning which talks about some of the human and animal hurricane victims.

Hurricane animal victims in Galveston need your help. Here are some requests that have crossed my desk today:

The Galveston County Animal Shelter is in need of supplies such as pet food, flea treatment, de-wormer, disposable kitty litter pans and collapsible wire cages. The shelter’s address is: Galveston County Animal Shelter, 3412 Loop 197 North, Texas City, TX 77590.

Texas livestock are in dire need of hay. Call the Texas Department of Agriculture hotline at (877) 429-1998.
