Answering the Call:
Animal League America’s Swift Response
to Back-to-Back Hurricanes

When Hurricane Helene unleashed its fury across the southern United States, and Hurricane Milton coming in quickly behind, our Emergency Rescue Team answered the call for help. With our shelter partners in the region already overburdened, the urgency to make room for animals displaced by these storms was critical. Our team hit the road to bring as many animals as we could to safety.

Bud: The Story of a Feral
On the outside looking in
On one side of the door is our Cocomelon, safe and sound in our house. On the other side is Bud, a handsome feral Tuxedo we’ve been working with for months. He wants to join us — you can see it in his face — but he’s hesitant and frightened, caught between his desire for food and comfort and his fear of the unknown. It’s so sad. But you know me: I love a challenge!

Celebrating 80 Years Leading the No-Kill Community

2012: Emergency Rescue Team Responds Close to Home

For years our Emergency Rescue Team has been quick to respond when disasters strike. In 2005, we were one of the first on site to aid shelter partners hit by Hurricane Katrina, and again in 2008 when Gustav and Ike hit the Gulf Coast. But it all came very close to home when Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast of the United States in 2012. While dealing with the aftermath at our own shelter on the north shore of Long Island, we set up an emergency animal shelter on south shore at Mitchel Field in Nassau County, NY, where we housed over 400 animals that were displaced when their owners had to evacuate their homes.
