Your Community Has Your Back! Resources for Wildfire Evacuees.
With ‘fire season’ upon us, Wenatchee Valley Humane Society (WVHS), Firehouse Pet Shop, Earthwise Pet Shop, PetSmart, and Petco would like to remind pet owners that they are there for support during trying times. If you are in need of pet boarding, food, or supplies due to an emergency please reach out. Your community members want to help.
Remember, those who are issued a level 3 evacuation notice during a wildfire can look to the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society for free emergency pet boarding if needed. Anyone interested in emergency boarding should call the shelter ahead of time to ensure there is space available, even if that means calling while driving to the shelter.
Wenatchee Valley Humane Society also offers a free pet food pantry on the last Saturday of every month. This is a great resource for those in need. If you need pet food before the last Saturday of the month please reach out.
A great tool we recommend is having an evacuation kit on hand in case of emergencies. Firehouse Pet Shop, Earthwise Pet Shop, PetSmart, and Petco are all excellent places to stock up on supplies. Make sure you’re prepared and remember that your community has your back.
