Emergency Rescue & Relief: Be a Lifeline for Animals in Crisis

When disasters strike, time is of the essence. Together, with your support, we can be there for animals and communities in their greatest time of need. When you give, you’re helping to provide emergency response efforts and relief for animals affected by disasters.

Whether you’re helping to evacuate animals from remote places like the Northwest Territories, aiding in search and rescue efforts after wildfires devasted communities like Maui, Hawaii, or providing urgent veterinary care to animals caught in earthquake-struck countries like Türkiye, your kindness today can ensure that no abandoned, sick or injured animals are left to fend for themselves.

Your gift today can help with:

• Search and rescue efforts for animals trapped in dangerous areas.
• Emergency veterinary care and evacuation of animals.
• Urgent boarding care, including shelter, food, and water.
• Reuniting animals with loving owners.
• Livelihood assistance for those who have lost everything.

Donate now to emergency rescue and relief and have a real, life-saving impact for animals who are caught in crisis and urgently need help.
