When disasters strike, worldwide, VWB responds by providing sustainable support to communities and animals in need.

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

When When disasters strike, time is of the essence. Together, with your support, we can respond quickly and effectively to protect animals and the communities who depend on them.

VWB’s emergency response is grounded in a One Health approach—recognizing that animal health, livelihoods, and community well-being are deeply interconnected. Whether responding to wildfires in Western Canada, earthquakes in Myanmar, conflict-affected communities in Ukraine, or livestock disease outbreaks in South Sudan, we work alongside trusted local partners to deliver rapid, targeted support where it is needed most.

In the critical early days of a crisis, we mobilize veterinary expertise, emergency supplies, and livelihood assistance to stabilize communities and prevent long-term harm. But our work does not stop at immediate relief. Wherever possible, we integrate recovery and resilience-building efforts that help families rebuild sustainably.

Your gift today can help provide:

• Search and rescue support for animals trapped in disaster zones
• Emergency veterinary care, vaccinations, and disease prevention
• Urgent food, shelter, and evacuation support
• Livelihood recovery for farmers and pastoralist families
• Capacity strengthening for local responders and animal health workers

When you give to VWB’s Emergency Rescue & Relief fund, you help ensure that no animal—and no family who depends on them—is left behind in a time of crisis.
