If Brandee could get into a hotel very close to her house, she can leave the animals and check on them throughout the day. Then she can "work" and take care of her bills and feed her family and animals.
That's my suggestion. May not be that easy... I just checked with Laquinta in Garland, and they are booked solid!
If Anyine has a place for Brandee and her animals to stay till her electricity is turned back on, please let her know, or pm me. She has 2 dogs, a cat and a bird.
I have a small Condo with a 13 year old Yorki....so I can't offer any housing
