Volunteer opportunities to asssist with emergency animal rescue and care

Do you have a passion to work with animals and people?  Would you like to join a team that assists people and their animals in a disaster?  Then the Animal Lifeline Emergency Response Team (ALERT) needs you!  ALERT is dedicated to the well-being of animals through the preparation for and actual evacuation, rescue and shelter of domestic animals and livestock when they are evacuated from their properties due to fire, flood, and other emergencies.  When not responding to a disaster, ALERT volunteers are busy attending training, assisting with facility maintenance, conducting public education and a host of other activities.  Volunteers must be 19 and over or between 16-18 if accompanied by an ALERT-trained parent/guardian volunteer.  New member intake and training happens once or twice a year.
