When planning your response to an emergency or disaster, you should keep in mind where your pets would stay. Typically, pets are not allowed in public shelters, with the exception of dogs that assist the handicapped. In case you have to go out of the county or state to find accommodations, the following motel / hotel chains are, in general, pet-friendly. However, it is best to verify their pet policy when calling to check on room availability.
