Galveston Daily News: Owners Can Search for Lost Pets Online
Filed under: Pets 911 - September 21, 2008
There’s now hope for distraught owners of pets lost during Hurricane Ike.
Pet owners in Texas can now search an online database of pets lost during Hurricane Ike.
Under the direction of the Houston Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Pethealth Inc. and Pets911, a Disaster Response Pet Portal has been launched.
As animals are rescued and lost animal reports come in to the Emergency Hotline —713-435-2990— being staffed by HSPCA, information is entered into the PetPoint Animal Management system. Every 15 minutes, this data is then uploaded.
Owners who recognize a lost pet on the Web site can call the hotline, and their information will be immediately attached to the animal at the shelter, expediting reunification.
The Disaster Response Pet Portal can be accessed at houstonspca.org or at pets911.com.
