Our CARE Program provides Crisis Animal REsponse support to communities throughout Texas who are experiencing disasters and crises of various types. Additionally CARE Teams work with counselors to support students in area school districts when a class or school has experienced a significant loss or difficult event and meet to discuss their questions, feelings, etc. CARE teams are provided with additional training (FEMA, Human and Animal First Aid, CPR and crisis response techniques) as well as travel support when deploying overnight across Texas.
