What We Do

We’ve rescued dogs off of the side of a cliff. We’ve pulled horses out of mud and helped them stand after being cast in their stalls. We’ve helped dogs with burned and cut paws make it back down hiking trails. We’ve pulled cows out of ravines and rounded up pigs.

We also set up and run emergency animal shelters in disasters, like wildfires.

WASART responds to domestic animals in difficult situations. We can be called out by owners, emergency services, and emergency management.

Get Involved

It’s not all about putting on a harness and pulling an animal out of a sticky situation or of helping out in an emergency animal shelter.

Whether your interest is in technical rescue, hospitality, fundraising, training, or other opportunities, we have a job for you and they all work toward the same goal—saving lives.

Help Save Lives

You don’t have to be the hands-on type to help animals in danger. Your financial support can help us get the equipment we need to save lives. As a 501(c)(3), your contribution is tax deductible. Our low overhead and volunteer staff ensures your gift goes right where it’s needed most.
