When disaster strikes, pets need us too!

Having a plan before a disaster, saves lives! Our Emergency Animal Shelter App (EASApp™) helps volunteers train and prepare so they know what to do when emergencies happen. With EASApp™,  shelter teams can focus on caring for pets instead of being slowed down by paperwork.
