This grant program is for nonprofit animal welfare organizations and/or government animal service agencies whose communities suffer the impact of unanticipated natural or other disasters. Grants will assist organizations that have been directly affected, or are helping other pets or organizations in need.

Transportation costs to rescue or relocate pets.
Other expenses related to providing temporary shelter for rescued pets including overtime salaries, rental equipment or facilities, cleanup costs, etc.
