Assisting NCDA&CS at State-Run Emergency Shelters

North Carolina (September 30 – October 6, 2024) – In response to the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene, on Monday RedRover® mobilized its RedRover Responders volunteers to assist the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services with the emergency sheltering of vulnerable animals impacted by the disaster. Widespread catastrophic flooding and power outages have been recorded across the state.

RedRover has sent two staff Team Leaders and RedRover Responders volunteers to help care for animals September 30-October 6 at state-run emergency shelters, first in Fletcher, and now in Salisbury, North Carolina.

“We are grateful we could answer the call and be on the ground helping the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services provide care and comfort to the animals displaced by Hurricane Helene,” said RedRover Director of Field Services Beth Gammie. “Our dedicated RedRover Responders volunteers are working tirelessly to ensure every animal affected by this disaster receives the help they need during this challenging time.”

With more than 4,800 trained volunteers in the United States and Canada, RedRover can deploy its volunteers quickly when communities become overburdened by a crisis involving a large number of animals. The volunteers provide a skilled and compassionate workforce which enables a jurisdiction to address large-scale natural disasters.

In its 37-year history, RedRover has responded to more than 280 natural disasters and other crises around the country including Hurricanes Katrina, Ian, Andrew, and Harvey, the Virginia lab beagle rescue, Northern California wildfires, Superstorm Sandy, and many more.
