The trailer is equipped to fit cats and dogs of numerous sizes and is fully prepared and customized for the comfort and safety of pets with climate control, running water, a veterinary work station, and a generator hook up.
Evacuating & Care for Pet
In the event of an evacuation…
- Pet owners of dogs and cats are instructed to travel with their pets to the County’s designated shelter.
- The trailer will be stationed next to the shelter for pet owners to place their dogs or cats in during an emergency.
- Each pet owner must sign a release form and will receive an identification of the location of their pet within the trailer.
- Pet owners are responsible for helping to care for their pets and provide them food and comfort in the evacuation scenario.
