Best Ways To Help Pets Affected by the Oklahoma Tornado

BlogPaws, Pet360 and World Vets are teaming up using the Blogger Disaster Response Network (BDRN) of which Pet Health Care Gazette is a member to step up for Oklahoma. We’ve all seen the images of devastation and we believe as a team we can make a big difference.

The largest need at the moment is cash. To that end, donations will be collected by World Vets through 11:59 PM Tuesday, May 28th. The collective donation will be announced when the money is ready for delivery and World Vets will make the decision on where the money will go – based on their work in past disasters. Your help can make a huge difference overall! Contributing is easy. Simply click on the badge below to make your donation.

Team Up For Oklahoma

Additionally, TODAY, Freekibble is donating 100% of the Halo kibble raised today to homeless dogs & cats impacted by the tornado in Oklahoma. Visit FreeKibbleKat to answer the trivia question and that’s all you need to do to add to the tally.

Finally, Vetstreet has provided this list of resources which includes things from who needs what to donations to where to look for lost and found pets.

We believe there is still so much hope for finding survivors and helping those survivors. Videos like the one below prove that.
