National Animal Emergency Response

Thank you for your interest and support of Humane Canada’s National Emergency Response.

Pets are family. They bring us comfort, companionship, and unconditional love, and when emergencies hit, they deserve to be protected just like any other member of the household.

At Humane Canada, we’re taking action, so animals aren’t overlooked when disaster strikes. We are advocating for emergency response plans that include pets from the beginning, not as an afterthought.  Summer is still here, and temperatures are warm, the threat of wildfires remain. People can be forced to evacuate at a moment’s notice and sadly many are told they can’t bring their pets with them. 

Your support can change that.

We are working to build a country-wide system that rescues animals, reunites families, and gives professional responders the tools they need to act fast. No one should have to choose between their own safety and the animals they love. Your support helps to create trust between agencies & give animals the best chance of survival & reunion. We will protect the most vulnerable, strengthen communities & keep families together.

Humane Canada is urging the federal government to implement a national animal emergency response program so that all Canadians can feel prepared, including those with pets. You can share your support and help ensure animals are protected when it matters most.

Together, we’re creating a future in which no animal is left behind in an emergency. We are grateful for your advocacy and care for animals in Canada and we look forward to keeping you updated on National Emergency Response progress.
