<h1 class="mw_h1">How you can help animals impacted by Hurricane Harvey</h1>

<p class="subhead mw_h2">In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, many are looking for ways that they can help the people and animals affected. Here’s how you can help during this urgent time:</p>
<p class="author mw_h3"> </p>





<h2 class="mw_h2">What you can do: </h2>
<ul>
<li>The HSUS Animal Rescue Team is deployed in Texas, where we are working with local officials to transport, rescue and care for animals. <a href="https://m.secure.humanesociety.org/site/Donation2?df_id=23944&amp;23944.donation=form1&amp;s_src=web_harvey_help_page">Your support is urgently needed</a>: both so we can help during this emergency, and so we can be there at a moment’s notice when future disasters strike. </li> 
<p class="h_pullq"><a target="_blank" href="https://m.secure.humanesociety.org/site/Donation2?df_id=23944&amp;23944.donation=form1&amp;s_src=web_harvey_help_page">Give to The HSUS Disaster Relief Fund today»</a></p>

<li>Challenge your friends and family to help. 
<ul>
<li>
<a href="http://m.action.humanesociety.org/site/TR/Disaster/myHumane?pg=entry&amp;fr_id=1280&amp;s_src=harvey_help">MyHumane</a> is an easy way to fundraise for animals with family and friends.</li>
<li>Activate your social network by starting a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/humanesociety/fundraisers">Facebook Fundraiser</a>.</li>
<li>Or, encourage your network to give by adding a donate button to your status and tagging <a href="https://www.facebook.com/humanesociety/">The Humane Society of the United States</a>. Here are the instructions for  <a href="https://www.facebook.com/help/564330130380587">adding a donate button</a>.</li>
</ul>
</li>

<li>Spread the word on social media. Retweet our hurricane updates from <a href="https://twitter.com/humanesociety">@HumaneSociety</a> and share our latest posts from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/humanesociety/">The HSUS Facebook page</a>. </li>

<li>Get the training you need to lend a hand in times of crisis. <a href="http://m.humanesociety.org/community/volunteers/volunteer_arv.html?credit=web_hpfs2_082817">Sign up to volunteer with The Animal Rescue Team</a> and be on the front lines for animals.</li>

<li>Many shelters in Texas are taking on the burden of lost, injured and evacuated animals during this emergency. You can help them make sure everyone is safe and cared for by donating the items included on their wish lists.
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3NGZYGJM19ST4/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_1">SPCA of Texas</a></li> 
<li><a href="http://www.sanantonio.gov/Animal-Care/How-You-Can-Help/Donate-Give-Back">City of San Antonio Animal Care Services</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.houstonhumane.org/giving/wish-list">Houston Humane Society</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="mw_h2">What not to do: </h2>
<ul>
<li>Your safety and that of your family and pets comes first. Do not put yourself in danger. If you see a person or animal in distress, call 911.</li> 
<li>Please do not attempt to drive donation items to Texas, as many roads are closed due to flooding.</li>
<li>It is also essential not to detract time or resources from emergency responders. Unless you are a trained professional who has already received official orders, do not “self deploy” to areas impacted by the hurricane. Do not call 911 unless you are experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening emergency firsthand. For information and updates, tune in to your local radio station or call 211.</li>
