If you have to evacuate, take your animals with you.

NEVER leave a dog chained outside, in crates or in a locked area where they can't escape. If you see a stray animal, PLEASE be kind and give it shelter. Animals need help surviving too. 🐕 #hurricanemilton #Florida #Milton https://t.co/Gu64jdq3Qf
