United Animal Nations (UAN) is offering a training workshop in the greater St. Louis, Missouri area on November 15 for people who want to help animal victims of natural and human-caused emergencies.
The one-day workshop will prepare people to volunteer with United Animal Nations’ Emergency Animal Rescue Service (EARS), which rescues, shelters, reunites and relocates animals displaced by disasters in the United States and Canada. EARS volunteers walk, feed and comfort animal disaster victims; reunite animals with caregivers; evacuate and rescue abandoned or stranded animals; provide veterinary care and much more.
UAN has helped thousands of animal victims during more than 70 disasters since 1988. After Hurricane Katrina, more than 400 EARS volunteers cared for 2,100 animals at six locations in three states. Recently, EARS volunteers cared for animals displaced by the flooding in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and fires in Northern California. Read our blog about those responses here.
For more information about the training workshop, including the online registration form, visit our Web site.
Online registration closes on Friday, November 7. Please call (916) 429-2457 weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. PST if you would like to register after this date. As long as spaces are available, we will accept registrations until Thursday, November 13.
