The post said that once it is safe to do so, a team will go in and work on evacuating animals and start the reunification process.
Pet owners must fill out a form, providing two reliable contact phone numbers and remain available at those numbers to be reached as quickly as possible.
The sheriff’s office is asking for patience and for owners to understand that all requests may not be accommodated due to the safety of everyone.
After the form has been submitted, someone from the team will reach out about your animal’s placement and the next steps in reuniting them.
