With the impact on the QLD Floods spreading rapidly to Brisbane, Ipswich and other areas of South East Queensland – and with no end in sight, more and more Queenslanders are finding themselves directly affected by the floods.
But it’s not only the people who are suffering, many cats, dogs and other pets are also being caught up in the disaster. Unfortunately, during evacuation, it is not always possible for people to take their pets with them, and even if they can, looking after a pet away from home under trying circumstances is very difficult.
Even once people can return to their homes, there is often lots of cleaning and mopping up to do – not a great environment to have a scared pet underfoot.
People affected by the floods already have more than enough on their minds, and worrying about their pets is simply adding to the stress. The QLD RSPCA is doing a wonderful job trying to help wherever they can, but with so many people and pets affected by floods, there is only so much they can do.
If you are a pet lover, living in or near a flood affected community, and have a bit of extra capacity to help out by looking after someone else’s pet, you might like to consider creating a listing on HelpOut – specifying where you live and what type of pet/s you are able to look after. It does not have to be for long – maybe just a few days or weeks, but in this simple way you could make a big difference to the health and wellbeing of both the pet and the owner.
See : http://helpout.spaceout.com.au for more information about how you can volunteer to look after a flood victims pet.
I can transport cats, dogs (including large ones) and other companion pets. Sadly I cannot foster them.
I have space at my home in Toowoomba for any dogs or cats that need a home for a while; email me if I can help at all.
I can foster outdoor dogs. I have a moderate sized fenced yard. Unfortunately I cant foster cats as I have a cat with a medical condition that stresses about other cats being in the house.
