During a hurricane, many people stay at home because they don´t want to leave their pets behind - and of course they shouldn´t.
Basically you have three options:
Propably the best choice of where to go should be a pet-friendly relative or friend's house that's out of the evacuation area.
Another possibility of where to go is a pet-friendly hotel or motel that's out of the evacuation area.
The last option is to find a pet friendly hurricane shelter, where you and your pets will be safe. If you decide to go to a shelter, make sure you have the following items ready to go for your pet: a carrier, a leash and collar, food and water, water bowl, vaccination records and medications.
Here are some pet friendly shelters in Manatee County:
Manatee County
Braden River High School, 6545 State Road 70 East, Bradenton
Manatee High School, 902 33rd Street Court West, Bradenton
Officials said shelters will only accept dogs, cat and birds.
Not all shelters will open during each emergency, so check before you leave your house. Watch your local news for announcements as a storm approaches.
