MoCo is looking for pet rescuers

Montgomery County is seeking pet rescuers -- volunteers to help with animal sheltering during emergency evacuations.

The County Animal Response Team -- CART -- will hold an informational session for those interested in assisting with emergency animal rescues on Thursday, May 6 at 7 p.m., in the Council Office Building, First Floor Auditorium, 100 Maryland Avenue, Rockville.

CART is working to make sure that pet owners have a plan in place to address the needs of animals in the event of an emergency that requires an evacuation.

For more information, or to RSVP for the May 6 meeting, send an email to sandy.dornsife@montgomerycountymd.gov.
