Evacuations stall when families can't bring their pets. Not because of sentiment, but because people refuse to leave without them. They turn back. They stay behind. They make the worst possible decision at the worst possible moment, because there is no other option.
Pet-Stay changes that. Temporary shelter for dogs and cats, built with the same modular logic as Bed-Stay, ready to deploy next to existing emergency facilities. So that when a crisis hits, nobody has to choose between their own safety and their animal's.
The problem nobody plans for
Emergency planning has come a long way. Municipalities, safety regions and crisis response organisations have solid protocols for people. But pets are still an afterthought in most evacuation plans, and the consequences are real.
Studies following hurricane Katrina found that 44% of people who chose not to evacuate did so because they could not bring their pets. Up to 80% of people who return to evacuation zones prematurely do so to rescue an animal.
These are not emotional footnotes. They are public safety failures that put lives at risk, including the lives of the responders sent to bring people back.
When pets have nowhere to go, people don't leave.
Pet-Stay is a modular, stackable sheltering unit for dogs and cats, built from the same materials as the Bed-Stay sleeping system. It is designed to be placed directly alongside human sheltering on the same location, so owners and animals stay close during the full duration of a crisis.
It is fast to set up, requires no tools, and scales to the size of any situation, whether that is a small local evacuation or a large-scale regional emergency.
Pet-Stay is built for the same organisations that already work with Bed-Stay: municipalities, safety regions, crisis response organisations, and humanitarian partners who need reliable, fast, dignified sheltering for large groups of people and their animals.
If your emergency plan includes people, it needs to include their pets.
