Disaster Response

HSI provides on-the-ground relief and collaborates with local and global organizations to help animals impacted by and (sometimes unavoidably) left behind in natural disasters. Remember: if you evacuate, take your animals if you possibly can. If it's not safe for you, it's not safe for them.
