10/17/05 - Helping Future Animal Disaster Victims
The Prosper family, formerly of New Orleans , found their beagle, Nick, at UAN's Emergency Animal Rescue Service (EARS) temporary shelter after a five-week Internet search.
Countless other families and animals haven't been so lucky. H.R. 3858 could prevent people and their pets and service animals from becoming separated in the first place.
Although seven weeks have passed since Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf coast, images of stranded animals and rescue personnel forcing people to leave their pets behind are still fresh in our minds.
An important piece of legislation could prevent future animal suffering and human anguish the next time disaster strikes - and the animals need your help to pass it!
H.R. 3858, the Pet Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act (PETS), would require disaster relief agencies that receive federal funding to include household pets and service animals in their evacuation plans.

Please act RIGHT AWAY to support H.R. 3858:
Ask your representative to co-sponsor or support H.R. 3858. You can reach your representative by calling the U.S. Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121. Not sure what to say? See our sample script below.
If you prefer, send an e-mail or letter to your representative. Find contact information at www.house.gov .
