I am a volunteer with the Lehigh Valley Animal Response Team. It is a non-profit organization that covers Northampton and Lehigh Counties in Eastern PA. The organization responds to emergencies, during or after a disaster, or accident, where animals are involved and need rescuing and care. It consists of volunteers, including some local verterinarians, and depends on donations. The state helps with some of the funding.
LVCART was just started at the beginning of this year, so we are still in the organizational stages. Our volunteers are being trained and have certain required classes to attend to be Certified to help. Some of our volunteers may not be directly involved in the rescue, but they are involved in other ways, such as in caring for the animals after the rescue, or pushing the necessary paperwork needed. All are working together to get the necessary supplies to have on hand when disaster does strike. We also are doing different fund raising events and sales to get funding.
If you are able to help LVCART in any way, it would be greatly appreciated. We accept any donations you may have, material or funding. We will also accept more volunteers if any one is interested. If you would like to get more information, or to donate, please contact me. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your help in advance.
