Pets/Pet Shelter

Prepare ahead for safety and comfort of your pet

Do not leave pets at home, especially if you live in an evacuation area. Even if they survive the storm, they might flee a damaged home and be lost in the chaos.

It might be difficult, if not impossible, to find shelter for your animals in the midst of a disaster, so plan ahead.

Pets are not currently allowed in Okeechobee shelters.

Vaccinate your pet if you haven't already done so. Infectious diseases can become a big threat after a disaster. Get your pet an ID tag, if your pet becomes lost or escapes during the confusion, proper identification will increase the chances of a safe return home. Take clear, color photos, frontal, left and right sides.
