As a pet owner or service dog owner, it’s important to prepare for emergency situations to keep your furry friend safe. Here are some helpful tips from The Humane Society of the United States:

1. Prepare a list of pet-friendly hotels because, in emergency situations, shelters fill up pretty fast.

2. Remember that if a situation is not safe for you, it’s also unsafe for your pet/service dog.

3. If you own a service animal, know that under the ADA, your animal is required to stay by your side at all times and that includes when you are in a disaster shelter.

4. Pack an emergency kit that includes bottled water, canned dry food, two weeks’ supply of pet medication, medical and vaccination records, and more.

5. If a situation arises where you really need to abandon your pet, make sure that it has a microchip or collar with your current information.

Do you own an assistance animal? Register your pet. 

The Service Animal Registry of California invites you to have your assistance animal registered in order to designate its status. We also encourage you to take our online classes so you can be fully aware of your rights and gain more knowledge about your support animal.

Finally, we present to you our book entitled, “ASSISTANCE ANIMAL LAWS: LEARN YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING SERVICE ANIMALS, EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS, THERAPY PETS, AND OTHER DOGS, CATS, AND ASSISTANCE ANIMALS” to provide you with a complete education on assistance animals.
