Welcome to Email News: Hurricane season means danger for dogs and cats

Help PETA's emergency team before the next tragedy strikes.

If we don't help animals threatened by disaster, who will?

Animals affected by disaster need our help.

Donate just $5 or more to PETA's Animal Emergency Fund so that we're ready when the next disaster strikes.

Dear Aaaaaaa,

A terrified kitten clinging to an umbrella. Dogs stranded up to their necks in dirty water. Dozens of panicked chickens trapped in flooded coops.

PETA's rescue team was able to come to the aid of these and many other animals after the devastation left by hurricanes Harvey and Maria last year. Our swift response was vital—because during a disaster, mere moments can sometimes mean the difference between life and death.

As the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season approaches, we're focusing on what can we do now to ensure that we can help as many animals as possible when the next deadly storm hits.

Aaaaaaa, kind people like you hold the answer. We need your help to secure the resources necessary to jump into action when animals need us most. Will you make a gift of just $5 or more to PETA's Animal Emergency Fund and help us raise $30,000 before the August 15 deadline?

Pitch in today and we'll send you a free copy of our disaster-preparedness guide, featuring an "In Case of Emergency" window sticker to help you keep your own animal companions safe—don't wait!

When disaster puts animals' lives in peril, PETA's rescue team does whatever it can to bring them to safety:

We rescue animals trapped in dangerous places and reunite them with their families. With permission, we broke a window to gain access to a flooded house in Texas where two dogs were crated inside. Our team took them to a local shelter, where they were reunited with their relieved guardians.
We lead recovery efforts to help ensure that animals are safe and cared for after a tragedy. After Hurricane Maria devastated facilities in Puerto Rico, PETA's team helped clean flooded shelters, clear debris, and rebuild enclosures that were damaged by the storm. We also canvassed neighborhoods for abandoned animals and distributed free dog and cat food to families in need.
We never leave an animal behind. Following our Hurricane Harvey relief work, our team helped free up space in overburdened Texas and Louisiana shelters by bringing dozens of dogs and cats to our Sam Simon Center headquarters in Norfolk, Virginia, and working with other area shelters to afford them the chance to find loving homes.

None of this lifesaving work would have been possible without the support of PETA's generous, compassionate donor community.

The next devastating hurricane, wildfire, earthquake, or other disaster could strike at any moment—and we must be ready when it does. Please make a generous gift of just $5 or more to the Animal Emergency Fund right now.
