ANIMAL RESCUE: THE IMPACT OF SPONSORSHIP WHY RESCUE IS NEEDED When natural disasters strike, it’s not just people that have to be evacuated or rescued; animals need saving, too. Local agencies may need help to evacuate animals ahead of a major storm, rescue them in the aftermath of a disaster, or provide temporary shelter for pets while families make new living arrangements. Natural disasters don’t happen every day, but animal cruelty does. It takes different forms, from extreme neglect to HSUS HE the intentional infliction of pain and abuse. Y / T E L I R E The cruelties we are fighting include puppy mills where dogs—our best friends—are packed into barren facilities LL ICHE and made to live in conditions of extreme deprivation and squalor; animal fighting operations that force animals to M fight to the death for sport; and cases of unspeakable neglect where animals are denied the basics of humane care. The scale, complexity, and urgency of animal cruelty cases demand a strategic, multi-faceted response. WHAT WE ARE DOING The HSUS Animal Rescue Team is in the forefront of efforts to save animals from peril. With a team of field responders and trained volunteers, The HSUS can deploy a fully equipped response team and provide necessary The HSUS Animal Rescue Team veterinary care and placement. The team includes experts on illegal animal cruelty and fighting and uses its mobile is in the forefront of efforts to animal crimes lab—equipped with the latest in forensic technology—to assist law enforcement. The HSUS also offers a $5,000 reward and national tip lines to pursue animal fighters and illegal puppy mill operators. save animals from peril. RECENT SUccESS In 2011, a series of tornadoes, historic floods, wildfires, and storms took their toll on communities across the United States. Working in tandem with local authorities and other animal welfare groups, the Animal Rescue Team helped rescue and care for a total of 2,369 animals displaced because of natural disasters. The team also deployed to more than 50 situations of significant animal cruelty last year, working with local agencies to rescue more than 6,000 animals from puppy mills, animal fighting operations, and hoarders. The Animal Rescue Team responded to 712 calls on the HSUS animal fighting tip line, paid out its 100th reward for tips leading to successful animal fighting cases, and worked with colleagues at Humane Society University to train more than 2,000 law enforcement personnel in cruelty and fighting investigations. THE FUTURE For every animal we are able to rescue, there are many more we cannot reach. Many rural and underserved communities have limited animal control services, while others are cutting budgets for cruelty enforcement during tough economic times. Such cutbacks put even more animals at risk. Your sponsorship of To the Rescue! New York allows us to save even more lives. Here are just a few ways your donation can help us accomplish our goal.
