Wenatchee pet organizations support pet owners in need

WENATCHEE - Several Wenatchee Valley pet organizations have come together to support pet owners experiencing hard times. In a press release, Wenatchee Valley Humane Society, Firehouse Pet Shop, Earthwise Pet Shop, PetSmart, and Petco said they would like to remind pet owners that they are there for support during trying times. If someone is in need of pet boarding, food or supplies due to an emergency they are asked to reach out. The release also says that those who are issued a level 3 evacuation notice during a wildfire can look to the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society for free emergency pet boarding if needed. Anyone interested in emergency boarding should call the shelter ahead of time to ensure there is space available, even if that means calling while driving to the shelter, the release states. Wenatchee Valley Humane Society also offers a free pet food pantry on the last Saturday of every month. If pet food is needed before the last Saturday of the month please reach out. “Make sure you’re prepared and remember that your community has your back,” the release states.
