During a disaster like the wildfires in Hawaii, the loss of a pet amplifies the overall horror of the event. Getting support from animal advocates in finding a missing pet can be a critical step toward recovery.

. Some of these surrendered animals will have to be adopted or fostered to ensure that there is enough room in local shelters.

Animal lovers, seeing the catastrophe on Maui, may want to donate food, toys, dog crates and other physical items. But despite good intentions, sending. Unless local shelters have robust distribution systems, the logistics of dealing with massive amounts of donated supplies can become overwhelming. Undistributed pet food, for example, can expire before it can be consumed.

The best way to help is to give money to organizations supporting local pets and their owners. Funds donated to groups like thecan pay for needed goods and services over time, including spay and neuter surgeries and flea treatments. Offering to adopt a “disaster pet” immediately is also not ideal, even if some animals might be relocated from the island eventually. Sending money increases the chances that the people and animals who are already bonded can stay together. Keep in mind that animal shelters and other organizations will still need help months after the media has moved on.
