We are looking for calm, mature, responsible, hard-working adults to help shelter, evacuate,
and rescue animals during disasters. Locally we work closely with emergency First Responders, especially during Fire Season. However, with our recent partnership with the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) we are also recruiting for individuals who can travel throughout the United States to assist other communities, as well.

These out-of-state deploments require a one-week committment.

Please help us pass the word. It would be greatly appreciated if you would post some flyers at the local feed and pet stores, barns, Vet Clinics, etc.
