to take care of our clients in Orange and
Osceola Counties.

to the Orlando area from a small town
in Ohio 30 years ago. She has always
loved animals and has had a houseful
of dogs and cats. In recent years, she,
her daughter, and granddaughter have
rescued over 100 newborn kittens and
several dogs and puppies. All of them

See below the sitters for the
Hurricane Info for Orange,
Osceola, and Seminole
Counties.

Hurricane info for Pets:
Below, we've tried to provide you with as much information as possible. We've listed
pet-friendly shelters for each county, if any, area pet-friendly motels and hotels, if any, and
we've linked to each county's emergency management Web page, if they have one.

Orange County
County officials tell us they will have at least two pet-friendly shelters, but may not use the
same locations this year they used last year. In case evacuation becomes necessary,
they recommend people call the Citizen's Information Line at 407-836-3111 which will
provide the latest info and shelter locations. Pre-registration will not be required.
Note: Not knowing where you'll be able to go with your pet until the very last minute is poor
planning on everyone's part. Please engage a Plan B if you live in this county, to ensure
the safety of you and your pet prior to a storm, not when it's bearing down on your
neighborhood.

Osceola County
Officials tell us "the plan" is for pet guardians to contact animal control at 407-343-7101 to
pick up and shelter pets during emergencies. This option separates you from your pet;
you would be better to take your pet and get out of town. The above Web site is slow to
