In the event of a hurricane or disaster, Brevard County Animal Control
and Animal Relief Support Agencies encourage pet owners to TAKE THEIR
PETS WITH THEM if they are evacuating the area; however, pets are not
allowed in all public shelters. It is strongly recommended that you make
prior arrangements to shelter your pets with a commercial kennel, family
or friends out of the evacuation area. If left at home, your pets can
be killed, injured, diseased, traumatized or lost.
If you have no other alternatives, Brevard County has limited pet friendly
shelters that will be opened for those living in an evacuation zone. Prior
registration is not required; but you should call Brevard County Animal
Services and Enforcement to determine if open. Check out pet friendly
lodging at this website:
