Sorry, dude, we can't handle pets. Until you've been in a rescue situation, especially a WATER rescue situation, you have no idea just how hectic and hazardous it is - and how little room there is in the evacuation vehicles. If you have to take your pets, then you have to get yourself out. I know that I'd miss my cats, but I also know that in the event I needed to evacuate, I'd leave them behind, no question about it.
I know how strongly people feel about their pets, and more so if they have kids and a "beloved gerbil" or dog. But at the same time, my job is to save HUMAN lives first, and then, possibly, other lives (like pets). Not to mention pets are NOT allowed in a shelter.

So, yeah, if you refuse to go because we can't handle your pets, you're on your own. It's a cold calculus. I can accomodate you and your family, and your dog might take room that one more person needed to get out, so the dog goes. Not to mention the nightmare of two barking, fighting dogs in a boat or in an evacuation center.

No pets. That's the way it is.
