The Animal Rescue Site and Greater Good Charities are committed to evacuating pets to safety and saving lives

Hurricane Helene has left a 500 mile swath of death and devastation in its wake. The historic storm battered the Gulf Coast before churning inland, through Georgia and the Carolinas, dumping feet of rain onto the already drenched Appalachian Mountains. Flood waters have wiped entire towns off the map and left at least 180 people dead.

Amidst this destruction, countless pets have been displaced from their families, overwhelming already crowded animal shelters that are struggling to keep these pets safe as their staff deal with flooding, power outages, and devastating personal losses.

That's why with The Animal Rescue Site, Greater Good Charities is continuing to work with impacted shelters to plan additional emergency evacuations. Their teams are on the ground across the Southeast, actively working with shelters to assess their needs and arranging space for pets at receiving shelters outside of the disaster areas so that the next flight can be scheduled. This will free up space in shelters to take in displaced pets while they wait to be reunited with their families.

These poor shelter dogs and cats desperately need your help to be flown to safety. Will you pitch in?

First Emergency Flight

On October 2, a Flight to Freedom departed storm-ravaged South Carolina carrying 125 lucky shelter dogs and cats. These pets had been residents in South Carolina shelters. By flying them to new homes in Wisconsin we're giving those shelters a chance to take in lost pets after the storm. These cats and dogs will now start new lives with adoptive families in the Midwest. Help us evacuate more pets out of devastated parts of the country!
