When major storms or other disasters strike New Jersey, our state's residents, both human and animal, need our veterinary expertise and skills.
Whether it's dealing with shelter and stress related diseases at a temporary emergency animal shelter or tending to animals rescued from flooded homes, veterinarians play a pivotal role in helping to ensure that the pets and other animals in our community make it through this disaster with the least amount of consequences.
Currently in New Jersey, there are a number of shelters set up to receive animals impacted by Hurricane Sandy. A few of these shelters are in areas only impacted by power outages and are able to rely on local vets for any assistance. However, in areas that were devastated by the storm, some of the temporary emergency animal shelters are in dire need of veterinary assistance.
Ocean and Burlington need vet care. Monmouth just needs shelter maintenance.
