Emergency Animal Cooling Shelter Opens Thursday In Bellevue
BELLEVUE, WA — Seattle Humane will open an emergency cooling center Thursday, giving King County residents a safe place for their pets to stay as temperatures near triple digits. The air-conditioned temporary Bellevue shelter will be staffed by volunteers from the Washington State Animal Response Team, Regional Animal Services and King County Search and Rescue.
Residents are encouraged to RSVP online to ensure there is enough space and staffing available. Pet owners can drop off their animals to be looked after between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. Organizers said animals that are not dogs or cats will need to be in their own enclosures, like crates or aquariums. Visitors should also bring along their pet's food, medication and toys. The shelter is not able to accommodate pets with serious medical conditions.
