When a disaster strikes, animal shelters may be unable to continue operations because of the destruction. Take the pledge to support animal shelters when they need it most!
During a disaster, animals can’t ask for help.
When a disaster strikes, often times an animal shelter is unable to continue its operations because of the destruction done to its facilities1.
To make matters worse, during disasters intake for shelters generally increases dramatically due to all the local displaced pets2. Shelters receive calls on a daily basis from owners that can no longer afford to keep their animals, and people who are being displaced from their housing.
Many animal shelters are already in need of repair and support services for their animals, but do not have the operating budgets to implement needed changes3.
Disasters can include barn collapse, train derailment, drought, blizzard, explosion, or any situation that leaves animals vulnerable and without care4.
The animal care facility in your community is no doubt dedicated to caring for animals in and out of your shelter.
Take the Pledge To Help Shelters Rebuild After Disaster and ensure your community shelter can provide quality care when animals need it most!
