Pets, Sandy and Internet

You may have heard about Sandy recently. You know, the hurricane that put New York and its surroundings upside down and forced people to move out the cities. Humans were not the only ones affected by Sandy; bunch of animals were too. A lot of pets just found the way of the shelter after the storm, and it is at this point that social media helps animals.

Unfortunately, when bad things like these happen, not only shelters get too busy, but some of them have to evacuate because they are as damaged as the other buildings around, like the ASPCA. The organization blogged to ask help of the public and put live feed on their Twitter which is the easiest, fastest and cheapest way to try to have help.

The Examiner is also using this media to help lost animals and shelter during those hard times. They give you access to phone numbers, website URL and email addresses for different kind of help you can provide. 

Donating to the different shelters that need helps or volonteers, adopting rescued pets or sharing those organizations on Facebook are among the possibilities that The Examiner give to make a difference. Now, with the popularity of social media, the idea of providing these information on them is a good idea to make things move forward.

Hopefully, the pets who have lost their family will find a loving owner to take care after this tragedy.
