Feed the New Strays

Please folks, put food and water out around the perimeter of the burn areas. I'm an ex animal rescuer. Dogs and cats can outrun a fire depending on the location and terrain but they can become frightened and disoriented. They will often hide and come searching for food in the wee hours of the morning. If you are fortunate enough to return home and your pets are missing then put out something with your scent on it like worn socks, etc. Also, a hunting camera or game camera can be a huge help. Look it up. This is a camera that is motion activated. You tie it to a tree and point it at the food. I have found many animals in this way. Good luck. Don't give up. It might take some time for these pets to be rescued.
