VCA Animal Hospitals announced that VCA Palmetto Animal Hospital near the Myrtle Beach fires is offering free boarding for companion animals whose families have been evacuated or displaced as a result of the current firestorms. VCA Palmetto Animal Hospital is located at 2350 Highway 501 East, Conway, South Carolina and can provide a safe environment for pets that have been affected by the fires on a space available basis from now through April 30, 2009, or as long as the fires persist.

"As families are being evacuated to shelters or facing the loss of their homes, VCA hopes to ease their burden by offering free boarding for pets so they can focus on the critical issues with their families and homes," said Art Antin, Chief Operating Officer of VCA Animal Hospitals. "About 10 pets have already been taken in from evacuated families and we want everyone to know that they have this option to keep their pets safe during this difficult time."

Boarding assistance for pets is based on space availability at VCA Palmetto and owners can call 843.347.1144 to ensure that the facility has space available to accept additional pets.
