I live in florida and im preparing for the hurricane. I found a few dog friendly shelters but my dog doesnt have any paperwork or tags. We just got her and my family couldnt afford to get it yet and now its too late. Do you have any advice?

Talk to the shelters about your situation.. Typically in an emergency situation, shelters are understanding as you are not alone and there will be several people in your shoes. Some shelters have volunteer vets that provide vaccine there.
