Second, even if families have evacuated on their own and were able to bring their pets, many have not been able to find during the chaos of natural disasters.
In response to this important need, families with pets, Petfinder together again. com and Maddie Fund formed the Emergency Response Network Animal (Aern). According to the website of Aern, 3200 animals in the destruction of Hurricane Katrina and Rita were captured along with their families or have been moved to a new home, thanks to Aern database.
