Who do you call when you need help caring for hundreds of neglected animals? Well, if you are the ASPCA and you have just conducted the largest companion-animal rescue mission in your organization’s history, you call the Oregon Humane Society.
In January 2016, the ASPCA rescued nearly 700 severely neglected companion animals--mostly dogs and cats, but also horses, pigs, and chickens—from The Haven, a self-described “animal sanctuary” in rural North Carolina. With so many animals to care for so suddenly, the ASPCA called out to other animal organizations, including OHS, for volunteer help.
From February through March, volunteer responders from OHS traveled in teams to North Carolina, where the ASPCA set up an emergency shelter. Each team was deployed for one week. In total, 17 volunteers from OHS, specially trained in emergency animal sheltering, made the trip to help.
