United Animal Nations
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Founded in 1987, United Animal Nations (UAN) is North America's leading provider of emergency animal sheltering and disaster relief services and a key advocate for the critical needs of animals.
UAN assists animals by helping to prevent, mitigate and resolve crises. UAN shares expertise, resources and information to empower others to help more animals.
Through its volunteer-driven Emergency Animal Rescue Service (EARS), UAN shelters and rescues animals displaced during disasters across the United States and Canada. In 2005, 435 EARS volunteers cared for more than 2,100 animal victims of Hurricane Katrina and later, Hurricane Rita at six locations in three states.
Through LifeLine, UAN offers funding to rescue groups, good Samaritans, small non-profit organizations and others to help them obtain lifesaving veterinary care for animals.
PMURescue.org helps people adopt mares and foals from the Premarin drug industry who would otherwise be sent to slaughter.
UAN's advocacy for companion animals improves their welfare by advancing legal reform and educating the public on important issues.
