THANK YOU FOR VISITING!

We are a Large Animal Emergency Evacuation Program approved for operation in El Dorado County.

Please join us in our endeavors. We are seeking dedicated volunteers to help evacuate animals during disasters, such as fires or floods.

On our Calendar page, you'll find important dates, and we try to keep them posted in the columns for easy viewing. 

On our Programs pages, you will find more about our clinics, training classes, and emergency simulations. You can also learn about our many volunteer and donor possibilities, ranging from direct rescue operations, to clerical tasks and fundraising.

  Our training continues and we continue to urge you to remain fire safe throughout the year.

Mission Statement

We are a group of trained, organized volunteers who will do our best to help evacuate animals in time of disaster. Fire personnel fight fires, saving human lives and preserving property. Usually, they do not have the time, the training, or the wherewithal to evacuate animals. This is where we come in. Our purpose is to help save the animals.

What do we do?

Functioning in a disaster under the Office of Emergency Services (OES), and Animal Control, our membership's Registered Disaster Service Workers will endeavor to evacuate animals from areas in danger.

Although we began as a large animal evacuation group, we soon realized we could not leave other pets behind if we had the opportunity to remove the. Our trailer teams will do their best to remove all pets from danger.

How to Sign Up...

Member information forms are posted in the Forms section. Please feel free to print, complete and mail to us or bring to a meeting (see Calendar for regularly scheduled meetings).  

Are you a new owner of a horse or other large animal?

Our membership includes experts on just about any large animal, including emus. They are glad to help out with explaining some of the basics about animal care. Most new horse owners, for instance, do not know about recommended worming or shoeing schedules. Please let us help!
