Losing a pet is a frightening and gut-wrenching experience. But many lost animals are reunited with their families — especially when pet owners act quickly, which can greatly increase the chances of being reunited with a lost pet.

June is National Pet Preparedness Month, and it’s the perfect time to ask yourself an important question: “If something happened right now, like a fire, flood, or evacuation, what would I do with my pet?”

Fostering a pet can create positive outcomes in a variety of circumstances and can lead to brighter futures for the animals and the people who care about them. Your temporary commitment can make all the difference in the world!

This annual observance focuses on raising awareness about the importance of spaying and neutering pets. Animal welfare and other animal-focused organizations across the country observe Spay and Neuter Awareness Month in a variety of ways, all with a common theme: to educate and encourage pet owners and the general public about the benefits spaying and neutering bring not only to individual pets but also to the overall well-being of the community.

Are you prepared for an emergency that could put your family, including your pets, at risk? Weather emergencies and other natural disasters as well as man-made disasters can happen at any time. Having a plan to keep you and your loved ones safe is essential.
