Due to the projected magnitude of Hurricane Sandy, the Lehigh Valley County Animal Response Team (LVCART) will be opening an emergency animal shelter at noon Monday. 

The shelter will be located at 2120 Avenue A, Bethlehem 18017 and is within close proximity to the Red Cross shelter. This is a regional shelter for both Lehigh and Northampton Counties.

Residents who must evacuate their homes and have no place to take their pets may shelter them at this location.

Please provide enough food for a week, medications with directions, and vaccination records if available. Additional supplies such as treats, blankets, toys, etc. will be comforting to your pet and help to make them feel safe, so include them, too.
