HURRICANE FLOYD
When Floyd hit NJ, Lorraine Zdeb was ready. knowing all too well how tight the human/animal bond is, she was prepared to help some humans and their pets. Gathering her pet sitters, along with volunteers skilled with the care of animals from neighboring towns, Lorraine set up her 5.5 acre farm as a triage unit. With the use of her renovated barn, and the blessing of well-water, Lorraine went to work. Local veterinarians from the Somerset Vet Group and the Hillsborough Veterinary Hospital were called upon by Zdeb to treat animals brought in by her teammates on The Somerset County Animal Rescue Team. Food was delivered by pet stores and Lorraine helped other volunteers distribute it to families' pets in damaged parts of Bound Brook and Manville. She and her team visited area 'people shelters' and gathered information on lost pets and comforted local residents whose homes were lost. She calmly assured them that she had several temporary foster homes set up for their pets. Lorraine and her teammates helped transport large dogs and other pets to dog kennels where there was more room and answered incoming phone calls from frantic pet owners. And on top of everything managed to keep her sanity...LOL. Lorraine...we applaud YOU!

Lorraine now serves on the State of NJ Animal Emergency Preparedness and Response Committee (AEPARC). (animalsindisasters.org)
