It's a difficult question. People's pets are very important to them - but at the same time, public money should be spent on getting people out.
Which leaves private individuals - like your grandma - to deal with the things that sometimes make life worth living. Like our pets. I just thank the Powers that there are people out there who want to help.
The way I look at it is this. There are whole agencies out there dedicated to getting to people and helping them in an emergency. Unless you're a registered volunteer and know what you're doing then showing up to help is just getting in the way - you're better donating money.
But there are other ways to help...and like I said, pets is important to people.

Depends what your priorities are, I guess.
