Hi all, I know many of you are pet parents and would be devestated if anything happened to them the you're out of the house. I know I would be! I recently ran a car show raising funds to buy pet oxygen masks for local fire departments and it was so successful that many have asked how they can donate and continue with the program.
Because of this I set up a special program to raise funds to buy these kits and supply them to local fire houses. I'm starting with my local Long Island fire houses but will donate to any that ask anywhere!
Losing a pet due to a house fire can be a devastating experience. As most pet owners leave their furry companions home alone when they go to work, pets are left to fend for themselves in the event of a house fire. While affixing 'rescue alert stickers' to your home can be helpful to first responders, saving the pet's life is not assured. Unlike humans who instinctively run out during fires, pets instinctively look for a hiding place to protect them from the fire. Far too many pets die each year of smoke asphyxiation. While firemen attempt to get pets safely out of burning structures, they are not able to revive them unless they have the proper equipment - pet oxygen masks. These specially-designed animal masks can be used both on conscious pets that have suffered from smoke inhalation and pets that need to be resuscitated after losing consciousness from exposure to the dangerous toxic fumes.
If you would like to donate you can do so here: http://nyautofest.com/NYAF/shows/donate-to-cars-for-k9s.html
If you are a volunteer fire fighter or know of a fire department that would like one of these kits message me for details.
