-- VCA Animal Hospitals, which recently announced it would offer free boarding at its Southern California facilities for companion animals whose owners were evacuated or displaced because of wildfires, is now offering a similar service in flood-ravaged southern states.
VCA says its hospitals in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky and North Carolina will board animals free of charge for families who were forced from their homes because of recent flooding. The Atlanta area has been particularly hard-hit, with rainfall totals in some areas reaching 20 inches. Georgia's flood-related human death toll reached nine, six of them occurring in Douglas County west of Atlanta.
The pet-boarding assistance is on a space-available basis at participating VCA hospitals, both in the Southeast and in California. Owners can call local VCA hospitals in advance to ensure that the facility has space available. A list of all VCA Animal Hospitals can be found here.
