Five years after Katrina animals and their owners are still on their own when a disaster happens. The Red Cross will not shelter pets with their owners. Disaster responders are not trained to handle animals. Officials are not enforcing the PETS Act. It is time to do something about it: join DART!

Lamorinda DART (Disaster Animal Response Team)

Lamorinda DART is a group of experienced animal disaster responders. DART specializes in Animal Care and Sheltering during disasters. Our operational area includes the City of Lafayette, the Town of Moraga and the City of Orinda. Our emergency animal shelters are located near a shelter for people. Other partners are the Contra Costa County Animal Response Team (Contra Costa Animal Services), Noah's Wish, other DARTs in Contra Costa and the American Red Cross. Together, we rescue the whole family.

The next Lamorinda DART training will take place in the Winter of 2010. If you cannot wait that long, you might want to take the Noah's Wish In-Field Training or the Contra Costa County Pet Emergency Preparedness Team (PEP Team) Training. Lamorinda DART recognizes both as equal to our own training.

Please sign up for our mailing list if you want to be notified of future training opportunities.
