Save Animals in Emergencies with Humane World for Animals

Humane World for Animals is a leading global animal protection organization, formerly known as the Humane Society of the United States and Humane Society International. For decades, we have rescued animals from abuse, cruelty, and disaster zones, improved animal welfare laws, and advocated for millions of animals worldwide.

Through our Emergency Animal Relief Fund, we are ready to respond whenever and wherever animals are in crisis. Hurricanes, floods, wildfires, puppy mills, and large-scale cruelty cases all create urgent situations where animals need immediate rescue, shelter, and care.

Be there for animals in crisis. Your support makes rescue and relief work possible.
Emergency preparation and response-related activities that donations support include:

- Rescuing, caring for and providing temporary shelter to animals in need.
- Renting and outfitting temporary animal-sheltering facilities.
- Purchasing, renting and outfitting rescue vehicles, including trucks and boats.
- Providing long-term care for rescued animals and transporting them to placement partners.
- Helping lost and displaced animals reunite with their families.
- Hiring emergency response staff and training staff and volunteer responders.
- Helping shelters and other animal protection facilities impacted by disasters and other emergencies.
- Educating the public about the importance of taking pets with them during disaster evacuations and planning for those evacuations.
- Assisting private humane organizations and federal, state and local officials in preparing for and responding to disasters and other emergencies that affect companion animals, farm animals and wildlife.
- Increasing the infrastructure and capacity of Humane World’s emergency response efforts through fundraising, education and awareness raising.

Our priority is always to use donations in the most effective and efficient way possible so that we are always ready to help animals in times of emergency. We never know where disasters will strike or when animals may be in need of urgent rescue, but we know we must be ready. Your support makes our preparedness, rescue, care and relief work possible.
