An animal shelter in Kentucky is overrun with dozen of displaced after deadly tornadoes left the state devastated, with dozens of scared pets without a home.

The Board President of the Mayfield-Graves County Animal Shelter, David Spalding, described how the shelter was struggling to remain standing but now is tasked with welcoming dozens of animals until there is not enough room. Photos show the displaced animals being held in crates as they hope for their owners’ return. Workers and volunteers were seen getting dogs and cats ready for major transportation out of the Kentucky shelter as it expects to be overwhelmed with rescues during the week.

Really sad. I hope the owners find them or they can get good homes.

This is one of the low probability reasons to have your pets chipped. Do it as soon as they get the last rabies shot. Local anesthetic will do.

A collar tag is great. But, those do become illegible with time and use; and can get lost if the collar breaks.

Any outfit finding a pet can simply post the number. Scan the list on regular basis to find your kid. Lots simpler than a description.
