Temp shelter available if you are flooding..

[cutiepiepmu]

I have been getting some info that people are flooding and starting to panic. I am high and dry(well relativly speaking!) and if you are in an emergency flood situation and need to evacacuate a horse or two I can offer a single stall in my heated barn or have a pasture with shelter available. It has to be temporary or hubby will FLIP OUT - but if you are in trouble I can help. I am located very close to gig harbor.

I can second that.

I have an extra stall with an attached paddock available.

It HAS to be temporary as I have a customers horse coming in February.

Please, you must provide your own hay, as I am horse poor.

I am in the Auburn/Covington area.

Ditto here in Enumclaw. If you need temp pens, we can set something up that is drier than being in a flood plain.

Sorry, no shelter, just pen(s) and not exactly dry footing, but not flooded!

Ok - I spent the better part of the afternoon helping doctor cattle that were beat up from flood debrit - and helping stitch up some horses that were in the same situation. This is a DEEP reminder that if you haver animals in even a couple of inches of rushing water, you risk them being injured BADLY. I will be headed back to help in the morning most likely if I can get my own fever down(have the flu)

Anyone who has veterinary background is urged to get your kits together and go to the fairgrounds or other shelter areas and ask if they need hands on to help treat injured animals. Be prepared to be kicked and deal with emotional owners and frantic animals. The vets are overwhelmed - so if you are a lic. vet tech and have emergency treatment background - call the local clinics and see if they need help.

Also - if you are an owner who has an injured animal - MAKE SURE you ask for proof of licensing for someone offering help. You wouldn't believe the stuff I heard and saw this evening. I know people have good intentions, but if you are not experienced - you can hurt the animal rather than help.

I am exhausted - so hopefully that all made sence!

The Evergreen Fairgrounds in Monroe is set up as an emergency animal shelter. The Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management has been contacted about people with trucks & trailers who are willing to haul livestock out of flood waters, if necessary. If you or someone you know needs help, call 425-388-5060.

I'm in northeast Marysville and have one pasture with shelter available if necessary. Call me at 425-327-4881.
