Hurricane Milton Tips to Keep You, Your Family, and Your Pets Safe Before, During, and After the Storm
As Hurricane Milton strengthens, Florida is battening down the hatches in preparation for what could be a historic weather event. Milton is expected to make landfall, bringing with it potentially devastating rains, winds, and flooding. Stay informed and take action now to keep you, your family, and your pets safe. Here are some critically important tips from the experts:
Before the storm:
Microchip pets or put a tag on their collar with your name, address and cellphone number so they may be returned quickly in case you are separated from your pets. Be sure that any microchip information is up-to-date.
Tie down or anchor outside objects that might fly about and injure someone.
Know a safe place where your pets can go if you need to evacuate or seek shelter. Evacuation destinations may include a friend or family member's home, going to a pet-friendly hotel, or temporarily housing your pet(s) at a boarding facility. Plan multiple routes to your safe destination. Review your evacuation plan and double-check emergency supplies - including bowls, water and food.
Evacuate your family and pets as early as you can and remember to take your disaster preparedness kit for your pets (i.e. First Aid kit, leashes, and pets' carrying cases, bowls, sanitation materials, chew toy, minimum 3 days, ideally 7-10 days of food, meds, water, your veterinarian's contact information, a photo of your pet).
Bring pets inside; bring outdoor animals inside with a carrier ready large enough to turn around and lie down comfortably.
Have a carrier at the ready. The portable carriers(s) should be large enough for your pets to stand-up and turn around in ready to go at a moment's notice. Practice loading cats and dogs in pet carriers before you have to.
If your family must evacuate, take your pets with you. Continue reading more tips:

Picked up sweet Dolly from the Amish farmer on Saturday. She is 4-5 years old, had four litters, and will be spayed now that she is in our care. Has been given rabies/distemper/bordetella vaccinations, tested for 4dx (tick-borne diseases, including heartworm), and treated pro-actively with Panacur in case she had worms.

Quiet and clean in her crate, wants to hug you, soaks up love and attention, has a bold and curious nature, and pulls strong on the leash. Do not know how she is around cats nor young children, but she did play with the children of the farmer.

If interested, please complete our online application found on our main website at www.midatlanticbassets.com, then send a copy of the acknowledgement email you receive that shows the completed application to [email protected]. Once received, we will call you.

All adoptive home prospects will have a phone interview, vet check, and a home visit. Must have either a secure, fenced-in yard or be walked several times during the day on a hand-held leash.

Alice and her puppies will be returning to the tri-state area if we can get foster homes for them!

Alice is ready to go, but will need to be spayed before she can be officially adopted. She is loved by everyone who meets her - such a sweet character who has blossomed into an even more incredible hound thanks to the loving care of Dr. Marybeth Cline and her staff.

Puppies will be shown individually in the comments below. They all have blue eyes and curly tails, so we are fairly certain there just might be some Husky in there. Petit basset du Ozark? Appalachian highland bassets? Huskets? Basskeys? We are thinking of having their DNA tested to find out just who is their daddy(s).

They will be placed in foster/foster-to-adopt homes. They won't be spayed/neutered until they are six months old. They have their vaccinations and have been dewormed. Their potty training has gone well and they are absolutely adorable.

If interested, submit your foster/adoption application from our website, sending a copy of the confirmation email to [email protected]. We will contact you once we receive that email.

LeRoy needs a home! Bought as a puppy to hunt, he displayed that he had no desire to do so. The surrendering owners decided to dump him and were unable to provide us with an accurate age. We estimate him to be about a year old.

LeRoy has been be neutered, brought up-to-date on his vaccinations, and tested for heartworm.

He is said to be affectionate to humans, has high energy, and likes other dogs. He needs to be kept busy or will resort to the usual destructive behavior of bored, young hounds.
