COMPANION PETS IN CRISIS

Companion pets in Crisis (CPiC) is the only resources to our local Fire Departments and Red Cross to assist on-scene with 911 crisis calls involving pets.

CPiC fills an important gap between human care and pet care within our EMS division.

By providing emergency services on-scene, transportation and emergency temporary shelter for pets displaced from their human and or home due to fire, evacuation or death of owner not only eases the anxiety on the family but on the animals as well.

CPiC provides on-scene crisis intervention by giving emotional support, resources and immediate needs for pets such as pet food, bowls, leashes, collars, crate and kitty supplies.

Providing these services also reduces the surrender and unnecessary euthanasia rate of healthy companion pets.
