Caring For Animals In Crisis
Who we are
The Pet Evacuation Team (PET) is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that has been caring for Central Oregon animals during major disasters since 2001. During the Alder Springs Fire our dedicated volunteers cared for 175 animals, including horses, goats, dogs and chickens, at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds for several days.
What we do
PET works in partnership with the Deschutes and Jefferson County Emergency Management Units and the Red Cross. Our volunteers are mobilized by emergency services during wildfires and other disasters. We deploy to the Deschutes County Fairgrounds or other specified locations to provide care and a safe haven for animals that have been evacuated from their homes.
