The devastating scenes coming out of Oklahoma in the wake of some of the most severe tornadoes in history are heartbreaking.
North Shore Animal League America, in collaboration with the Bella Foundation and MuttNation Foundation, has already deployed one of our Mobile Rescue Units to Moore, Oklahoma, the epicenter of the disaster, to help the families and pets who have been affected by this tragedy.
Our Emergency Rescue Team and Mobile Rescue Unit will be on the ground beginning Wednesday, May 22, to serve as a temporary shelter to care for pets of evacuated residents and assist in animal rescue efforts. Our Mobile Rescue Unit, a self-contained, generator-powered shelter on wheels, will be stationed at the Cleveland County Fairgrounds, just miles from the disaster, where an emergency pet shelter has been established.
After assessing the needs of the community, our Emergency Rescue Team will determine whether or not to transport shelter animals that were previously relinquished by their owners prior to the storm to our national adoption headquarters in New York, thereby freeing up space in Oklahoma shelters to house animals displaced by the tornadoes. This also helps reduce the chance that lost animals will be euthanized and ensures that as many owners as possible will be reunited with their pets when the immediate crisis passes. | | We need your help more than ever before. Please donate today so we can help the people and animals of Oklahoma as we continue all of our life-saving work. |  | |  |
