Be Prepared!

Having been one of the main rescuers during Hurricane Katrina, we are advising everyone to stock up on food and supplies for your companion, animals and your families.

The possibility of losing power due to the potential damage from high winds is possible along with the massive flooding according to local news.

Make sure you have all your supplies and if you know of any animals that are in danger being kept outside and there’s anything you can do, please help! You are their only voice! Please help if you know of a senior citizen that simply can’t get out for provisions and food for their companion animals.

Again, if you see an animal tied up or in danger, do something. When the storm hits animal control in the city, and county can not come out and aid in emergencies.

We recommend batteries, flashlights, candles, blankets, buckets, garbage bags, paper, towels to also add to your list.

ABOVE ALL BE SAFE!

A Note from Linda

I have just finished loading at the feed store and other errands to prepare for ANOTHER extreme weather event barreling towards us. Everybody is encouraged to stay in place once the storm starts and we’re very concerned for all the animals in the city and those that have been dumped out in the desert as fencing will fall down all over Southern California with the flooding and high winds. There’s going to be animals everywhere.

We here at LBWF have been stocking food, supplies, extra water deliveries, plastic sheeting and ground cover while digging trenches to fend off the incoming torrential rains associated with this Hurricane.

As you know, non profit rescues do not have these truly unexpected expenses in their budget and we are again asking for help. After the storm subsides, the rescues will be expected to clear the shelters from the incoming animals. We just can’t do this work without your support.

This is exactly why we reached out to the Governor as adding companion animals to any emergency declaration could possibly help open up grant opportunities in these now frequent California natural disasters.

We are praying for everyone in the storms path and are hoping for the best. If you can help, please do so by using the link below with my gratitude and unending thanks! Please be safe my fellow Californians!

With Love and Hope,
