Animal Evacuation Experts from the Pioneer in Animal Disaster Assistance Offer Advice for Evacuees, Others, in Disaster-Prone Areas

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Oct. 26 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- United Animal Nations (UAN), the organization that pioneered disaster relief for animals 20 years ago and provided emergency animal sheltering and disaster relief services during Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the Southern California wildfires in 2003, is offering financial assistance grants of up to $500 to help victims of the devastating fires in Southern California care for their pets.

"When people lose their homes and everything they own in a fire, they often do not have the resources to pay for vet care for injured pets, or to board their pets temporarily until they find a new place to live," said UAN President & CEO Nicole Forsyth. "Through our LifeLine Crisis Relief Grant program, we can relieve families of the stress of caring for their pets so they can focus on rebuilding their lives."

UAN's LifeLine Crisis Relief Grants can help fire victims with expenses for the following:

-- Veterinary care to treat injury or illness caused by the fire

-- Temporary boarding

-- Transporting the animal to a temporary living situation

UAN will offer qualified individual applicants up to $500 as long as funds are available. Since UAN's LifeLine Crisis Relief Grant Program is supported solely by private donations, individuals can help keep services flowing to evacuees and their pets in need with donations to the Disaster Relief Fund by visiting http://www.uan.org.
