Helping Animals During Emergencies

Do you want to help animals during natural disasters or other emergencies?

My friends at United Animal Nations have announced their 2008 training schedule for volunteers wanting to join the Emergency Animal Rescue Service (EARS.)

Volunteers learn how to shelter, love and care for animals who are displaced when disaster strikes. They help bring animals out of crisis and into care.

With more than 3500 volunteers in the US and Canada, EARS has an excellent service history. They have rescued and sheltered animals during many types of emergencies--from local shelters that are shut down by animal welfare inspectors, to hurricane Katrina. This training is sponsored by the ASPCA.

In 2008 there will be 13 one day trainings, offered across the US and in Vancouver, BC.

I know these folks personally, and can highly recommend working with them. I'm looking forward to getting trained in Charleston, SC. I hope to see some of you there!

You have a cute blog. I found your blog from Barbara's blog. She is one of the nicest bloggers I've met on the blogosphere. Please check my blog when you get time.

I've subscribed to yours and I will tell my daughter who loves dogs to death.

Thanks

Hi Cousin Kaye,

What a great thing you're doing. We need more people like you to spread the word about displaced pets. How sad that must be for the owners and pets to be separated.

Thank you for giving animals a "voice".

You're awesome.
