Story 3
From the Post & Courier
From cats and dogs to sheep, horses and exotic snakes, pets in the Lowcountry are just as vulnerable to inclement weather as the humans responsible for their care.
As hurricane season ramps up, pet owners of all kinds should have a plan in place in case of a storm. That preparation comes down to one question: If waters rise and an evacuation comes, how will you get your animals to safety?
Beaufort County Animal Service Director Tallulah McGee asks that question often in her day-to-day life, and she's occasionally disheartened by the lack of foresight deployed by county residents.
"Anyone thinking about getting an animal that can't be transported easily, they need to seriously think about what they will do during an evacuation," McGee said. Short-term rentals can be a good option for those evacuating with animals, McGee said. She suggests reaching out to property owners in advance to establish a contact and confirm a plan long before a hurricane or emergency arrives. Beaufort County also has a number of pet-friendly hotels.
A pet-friendly emergency shelter in Jasper County also serves residents of Beaufort County. The regional shelter at Ridgeland Elementary School was activated in early August as Tropical Storm Debby moved through the area and is prepared to take in crated and leashed pets.
McGee said she is always willing to assist county residents with forming an inclement weather plan.
