66% of Americans own a pet; 35% of them own more than one. In 2022 over two million pets were affected by disasters. Shelters for people who have lost their homes are some of the most important facilities to be created after a disaster, providing evacuees a safe place to stay with food, community and other resources. But sometimes these shelters do not allow pets (though they are required to make accommodations for service animals). What happens to the pets of the rest of the evacuees? In order to provide a safe place for cats and dogs to stay, as well as birds and other small animals, we will need to set up an emergency pet shelter.
