As Oklahoma continues to pick up the pieces after the deadly tornado struck Monday, residents are searching for their missing pets in the wake of the disaster.

Home Depot is serving as a location where animals found in the wreckage are being transported. In addition, some are being taken to the Moore Animal Shelter and heading to Oklahoma City.

According to WXYZN.com, rescue workers are continuing to keep an organized list in the hopes that one day soon, pets will be reunited with their owners. Moore resident Scott Burkhart knew his home was demolished.

"I saw it on the news, they showed it," he said, according to WXYZN.com. Burkhart and his family lost their dog's during the storm. He said he hopes they escaped, but is uncertain.

A short time later, Burkhart found Nemo.  He, unfortunately, didn't make it.  But Burkhart is still looking for Romy.

Volunteers with the Humane Society of Tulsa are in Moore, providing community outreach and pet supplies at First Baptist Church.

A Facebook page -- the McClain County Animal Response Team -- is also set up to reunite people with their pets.

Here are some steps to help find your pet if he or she has gone missing. Check it out, here
