Attention Florida Pet Owners:

gracefully-disappear:

Privately owned hotels, motels, etc., can still legally turn you away if you have pets with you. It just happened to Hurricane Harvey evacuees. Please do not go to a hotel trying to demand that they take your pets – You can get turned away, (the police will assist if needed) and you may end up back on the road in the storm. Which is the most dangerous place to be.

There has been a post going around saying that the PETS act means that hotels have to accept your pets… This is FALSE! The PETS act allows FEMA to spend government funds on creating pet friendly evacuation and disaster response plans, to fund pet friendly shelters, to fund veterinary services, and to pay pet fees to hotels that accept pets for displaced families who receive vouchers after a disaster. It has no bearing on private businesses, private businesses are not required to change or amend their pet policies.

Some hotels do, however, voluntarily change their policies during a storm. This will be dependent on each individual hotel owner, (they are usually franchises). So the best thing you can do is call the individual hotel before you go.

To evacuate, you will need to identify pet friendly hotels, shelters, etc.

To find pet friendly hotels, you can use BringFido.com or Booking.com (on Booking, select “Pet Friendly” in the filters). 

The American Kennel Club has a list of Pet-Friendly shelters for you, your family, and your furry friends here.

And finally, for your general preparedness information, FEMA has a “Helping Pets” page for storm preparedness and facts you need to know here.

Please be safe and have a backup plan in place. I hope that cuddling your furry loved ones brings you much comfort.

I’m gonna keep reblogging this through the day.

I was asked to reblog this post to help clarify the misinformation from a popular post that is circulating, which claims that no hotel can turn you away with your pet due to a FEMA ruling from Katrina.

HELP MY FRIEND GET HER DOG BACK

My friend, Paulina, lost her dog this year and had posted on twitter asking people in her area to help.

Her tweet got retweeted enough for her to get a message from some guy named Alex who claims he actually has her dog.

He has since blocked Paulina and is saying he won’t give the dog back. He has even posted pictures with the dog and is acting like this is all a big joke.

Paulina is absolutely devastated. The police say they can’t help even though she has pictures of him with her dog and she has proof that she’s owned the dog for years.

I’m near Savannah area and we just drove all the way here from Missouri and spent a lot of money on motels and gas. Mom is about to run out of medicines and she can’t fly out yet due to hurricane and she’s diabetic so we need to get emergency meds for her as well.

The next time I see one of those “millenials will be photographing the end of the world” posts I’m gonna scream because let me tell you, I just went through a natural disaster and Snapchat literally saved people’s lives. Thanks to snapchat I knew exactly what roads were flooded, what stores were open, what my HOUSE looked like (since I wasn’t there), and which shelters I could go to. People were snapping/tweeting asking to be rescued and THEY WERE. I didn’t get my news from the tv, I saw it in real time on social media and I will never not be grateful for that.

Millennials will survive the end of the world because we photographed it.
