Pet Emergency Preparedness

Now you can get prepared and donate to Hopalong & Second Chance Animal Rescue at the same time. Buy pet preparedness products from Applied Vitals and we receive a donation.

Welcome to the start of our Pet Emergency Preparedness education program. We will continue to add valuable pet preparedness information to this section of our site over time.

We see an incredible opportunity to help save animals lives by getting valuable information into the hands of the public, pet owners and policy makers before disasters strike.

Our hands-on participation in the animal rescue mission following Hurricane Katrina not only gave us an up close look at the state of America's pet preparedness plans, but touched us personally and encouraged us to act. As we continue to participate in disaster relief efforts in California and around the country, we continue to see the opportunity to minimize injury and loss of life through advanced preparation, planning and education.

Please come back soon for updated pet preparedness information...

Get Prepared & Donate To Hopalong & Second Chance Animal Rescue

We're please to announce a preparedness partnership with Applied Vitals, an emergency preparedness company. Now, every time you buy pet preparedness products from Applied Vitals, a donation will be made to Hopalong & Second Chance Animal Rescue.

This preparedness partnership with Applied Vitals is a great way to kick off our Pet Emergency Preparedness program. As you set a great example---by getting yourself and your pets prepared for emergencies and disasters---the message of preparedness starts to spread. And the more people that take advantage our arrangement with Applied Vitals, the more resources we'll have to reach out and make an even bigger difference.
