GUAM\u2014Guam Animals In Need is evacuating its animal shelter following a tropical storm warning issued yesterday. Damaging winds of 39-57 mph are expected within 48 hours.<\/p>\n
GAIN is asking for volunteers willing to take in a shelter pet for the duration of the storm, and potentially through the holiday weekend. \u201cStorms are stressful for animals. We\u2019re seeking volunteers to provide a warm and safe space for a shelter pet during this storm,\u201d said GAIN volunteer coordinator Cece Lara.<\/p>\n
Call 653-4246, or visit the GAIN Facebook page, for up-to-date information on the evacuation.<\/p>\n
GAIN reminds everyone that storms are dangerous for animals, both owned and unowned. \u201cWe\u2019re evacuating the animal shelter thanks to the help of our storm fosters,\u201d said GAIN foster coordinator Sasha Coleman. \u201cFoster homes help us provide shelter pets with added protection during storms.\u201d <\/p>\n
Guam law requires that pets have proper shelter. \u201cDon\u2019t leave your cat outside or dog tied to a tree during a storm,\u201d said Arleen Decastro, GAIN\u2019s lead animal caretaker. \u201cTheir safety depends on you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease bring your pets indoors during the storm,\u201d said Cyrus Luhr, GAIN board president. \u201cIt\u2019s not just the law, it\u2019s also the right thing to do.\u201d (PR)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
