Tomorrow Austin Pets Alive will be trying to get permission to do triage at Bastrop with Friends For Life who are certified in Disaster Relief. They are coming from Houston with their trailer tomorrow! If anyone has lost pets you can email me at [e-mail]. If your pets were at your house we will need to know address, description of pets, and if they were inside or outside. If inside would you give us permission to break a window to go inside and get them out? We cannot promise we will even get to go or will be able to reply to all emails but we are going to try and gain access and do what we can! Please give me as many details in the original email as possible because we are getting hundreds per day and I cannot reply to everyone to ask more questions!
