Disaster & Emergency Preparation for Pets
The Animal League’s Emergency and Disaster Rescue Program pulls animals out of harm’s way.
Our Emergency Rescue Teams are ready at a moment's notice to help save animals' lives, whether they are responding to national emergencies or natural disasters.
Whether we take our Emergency Mobile Rescue Unit to overcrowded shelters in California, pull displaced animals from weather-ravaged areas in the U.S., or receive a critical airlift transport from Taiwan, animal shelters in need know that they can count on North Shore Animal League America, and that help is just a phone call away.
