NEVER EVER LEAVE YOUR PETS BEHIND: Plz share as a reminder not to leave precious animals behind during storms to fend for themselves. The result is often tragic. Pets are scared out of their minds when abandoned. Take them to a shelter & get them after the storm

We cannot STRESS this STRONGLY enough - don't leave your pets behind - dogs and cats - please SHARE with all - they can't fend for themselves and they are scared out of their minds when you abandon them! It rarely ends well for them.
