End Homelessness

The HSUS Animal Rescue Team is currently in Iowa performing water rescue of animals as mass flooding across the Cedar Rapids area has forced thousands of residents to evacuate their homes. Even as severe thunderstorms pass through and tornado warnings circle, The HSUS is working nonstop to save and shelter displaced pets.
With seven team members on the ground, and more on the way, The HSUS is performing water and land rescue as well as supervising an animal emergency shelter. The rescued animals are being transported to an emergency shelter at Kirkwood Community College, where they are decontaminated and treated by veterinarians. Already, dozens of animals have been reunited with their families and more than 300 are being housed at the emergency shelter.
With well over 100 rescue requests pending and more than 50 additional requests coming in daily, the rescuers have a long road ahead. So please, help us respond to this and future disasters by making a contribution to our Disaster Relief Fund today.
