Caring for animals in crisis
Who we are
The Pet Evacuation Team (PET) is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that has been caring for Central Oregon animals during emergency evacuations since 2001. During the Alder Springs Fire our dedicated volunteers cared for 175 animals for days, including horses, goats, dogs and chickens.
What we do
PET works in partnership with the Deschutes and Jefferson County Emergency Management Units and the Red Cross. Our volunteers mobilize and deploy to the Deschutes County Fairgrounds or other specified locations, providing care and a safe haven for animals that have been evacuated from their homes.
