// The VersaTag code should be placed at the top of the <BODY> section of the HTML page.
// To ensure that the full page loads as a prerequisite for the VersaTag
// being activated (and the working mode is set to synchronous mode), place the tag at the bottom of the page. Note, however, that this may
// skew the data for slow-loading pages, and in general is not recommended.
// If the VersaTag code is configured to run in async mode, place the tag at the bottom of the page before the end of the <BODY > section.

//
// NOTE: You can test if the tags are working correctly before the campaign launches
// as follows:  Browse to http://bs.serving-sys.com/BurstingPipe/adServer.bs?cn=at, which is
// a page that lets you set your local machine to 'testing' mode.  In this mode, when
// visiting a page that includes a VersaTag, a new window will open, showing you
// the tags activated by the VersaTag and the data sent by the VersaTag tag to the Sizmek servers.

</p>
    <p>In September, eight fellow WellPet employees and I had the amazing opportunity to travel directly into hard-hit Houston, Texas, to care for pets displaced by Hurricane Harvey. With only two days of prep time, we packed our bags and made arrangements for our own pets while we’d be away. We had some expectations, but nothing could’ve fully readied us for the experience. In our own words, here’s a recap of our volunteer trip with <a href="https://bestfriends.org/">Best Friends Animal Society</a>:</p>
<figure role="group" class="align-center"><img alt="Volunteering for Hurricane Harvey" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d34e576a-4a2e-45a2-ad52-7f1463cc6ba0" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/WellPet-Houston-1.jpg" /><figcaption>Here we are on Day 1, staring down a mountain of boxed dog runs. After assembling the first few, we got into a pretty good rhythm. Picturing the dogs with their own private space kept us moving.</figcaption></figure><p>A lot of effort goes into caring for the animals. There were over 400 animals. When we first arrived, there weren’t enough volunteers, and the staff was so excited that we brought a group to help. Right away, we started building dog runs─ either 4 x 4 ft or 4 x 8 ft. for different sized dogs.</p>

<p>The work may have been physically demanding, and working with the pets was, at times, emotionally challenging. But being able to see our efforts directly impacting dogs and cats who needed us pushed us to walk one more dog, assemble one more crate, and pitch in anywhere else help was needed.</p>

<p>Check us out on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/wellnesspetfood/">Facebook</a> for updates on what else <a href="https://www.facebook.com/wellnesspetfood/">Wellness Pet Food</a> is up to, and see the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/wellnesspetfood/photos/?tab=album&amp;album_id=10154735868752181">full photo album of our Houston trip</a>.</p>

<p>We urge anyone who is in the Houston area, or who is able to make a trip, to volunteer with <a href="https://bestfriends.org/">Best Friends</a> or a similar organization. We expect the need for volunteers on the ground in Houston will continue for weeks or months to come. </p>
