Einstein

I first met Einstein when I decided to foster him for AWS. He was such a friendly and fuzzy little hamster with a chronic eye condition that made him nearly blind. After fostering him for over a month, I decided that I couldn’t part with the little guy and ended up adopting him. Einstein (named for his ridiculously crazy hair) is the nicest hamster ever! I’ve owner hamsters before but this guy is something special. He loves to be held and cuddled and has never so much as tried to even nibble me once. I love him and am so grateful that AWS brought him into my life!

As @fema's Disaster Preparedness Month comes to a close, we remind everyone to prepare not only themselves, but their pets as well. As you put together your disaster preparedness kit, remember that no matter the type of emergency, it’s always important to have updated and accurate contact information for:

☎️ Your local first responders (911 and non-emergency contact information)
☎️ Your local animal shelters (like AWS if you live in York County)
☎️ Animal control officers (usually reached through the police or sheriff non-emergency number)

Bookmarking their websites and following them on social media is a great way to keep in touch during an emergency. These points of contact could help in a multitude of ways by providing information, safety, or resources for you and your pet during a disaster. Your County Animal Response Team (CART), part of your county’s emergency management agency may also offer resources. In times of great emergency, AWS partners with local emergency organizations to provide a safe haven for pets when their people must evacuate and enter a local emergency shelter.
