Pet Hurricane Planning

What should a pet owner do when a storm is approaching?

Have a plan for your entire family, which includes your pet(s).

• Do not leave your pet at home!
• Emergency Management Preparedness Instructions
• Pet Friendly Shelter Registration Form
• Pet Identification Form

• Post-Disaster Animal Collection Temporary Collection Sites: After a storm, stray animals will be collected and staged at temporary collection sites prior to transfer to more permanent shelters. The location of these collection sites will be determined based on prevailing conditions. Every effort will be made to inform the public of these locations so that animals can be returned to their owners as quickly as possible.

   

  Once the site(s) have been determined you should look for your pet(s) at the location nearest your home and where you last saw your pet. To report a lost pet, call Pinellas County Animal Services at (727) 582-2600.
