The American Kennel Club and AKC Companion Animal Recovery are assisting animal organizations in need after the recent devastating tornadoes in Alabama and the South via the AKC CAR Canine Support and Relief Fund. More about our efforts: - Members of the Tuscaloosa Kennel Club recently delivered supplies to the Tuscaloosa Metro Animal Shelter on behalf of AKC and AKC CAR, including crates, bowls, leashes and collars, dog food and medication.
- The Marion/Winston Animal Shelter, supporting Hackleburg and Guin, Alabama, is currently feeding 40 dogs, 8 cats and 20 horses, as well as supplying food to local area families who need it for their own pets. With the group’s dog food supply depleted, AKC and AKC CAR donated $2500 for food, crates and other animal supplies that the shelter will purchase locally.
- Hale County, located 30 miles south of Tuscaloosa, was hit by two massive tornadoes. As more pets begin to reappear after the storm, Hale County Animal Shelter expects to be inundated with strays. AKC and AKC CAR supplied more than $1000 worth of vaccinations to ensure the health of the animals that come into their care. Shelter contact Dee Sullins was thrilled, saying, “This is just frosting on the cake for us!”
AKC and AKC CAR are reaching out to other groups in Alabama at this time. If you know of organizations in need of assistance, please contact Stephanie Smith at 212-696-8228 or communications@akc.org |
