Aiding animals in crisis is a core part of Animal Humane Society’s mission. Whether rescuing animals from cases of abuse and neglect, or assisting with pets displaced by natural disasters, our staff work tirelessly to help animals in the most dire of situations.

While this work has always been a vital part of our operations, we recently created a new Critical Response Team to ensure expert staff from across the organization are fully prepared to aid these incredibly vulnerable animals.

In September, our Critical Response Team traveled to Houston, Texas, to provide support and relief to those caring for animals displaced by Hurricane Harvey.
