Can I bring my pets to the shelter?

Shelters often have policies regarding pets. When possible, Red Cross shelter workers will do their best to accommodate domesticated pets comfortably. However, depending on the situation, pets may need to be housed in a different location with support from animal welfare groups.  

Animal shelters may be: cohabitated - shelters place animals and owners in the same space; or collocated - placing animals within local commuting distance of their owners or standalone.

 Service animals are always welcome in emergency shelters.
