General Inquiries
FAQ
What areas does GARR serve?
We can respond both in the United States and worldwide when needed.
What training does your team have?
Our team is trained and experienced in many aspects of rescue including shelter setup and operations, water rescue, confined space rescue, high/vertical angle rescue, ground search and rescue (GSAR), and hazardous materials (HAZMAT).
What happens to the animals you rescue?
We make every effort to reunite animals with their owners. If this cannot be done immediately, we will ensure the animals receive the best care possible either at our temporary shelter, or at the facility that covers the area in which we are working.
What types of animals will you rescue?
To begin with, all lives matter to us. If there is an animal in need, we will do our best to save it. This includes, but is not limited to, dogs, cats, horses, cows, pigs, goats, sheep, poultry, exotics, etc. We have the ability and experience to work with almost any type of animal within our team.
Do you have a shelter I can visit to adopt animals from you?
We are not a shelter-based organization. When we respond, we work with established agencies who normally have facilities already in place. When needed, we will establish emergency shelters and staff them until a more permanent solution can be found and handed off for long-term care.
What type of situations will you respond to?
We will respond to animal needs in situations such as hurricanes, floods, tornados, wildfires, earthquakes, and even war.
What types of donations do you accept?
Financial donations are the easiest to manage. Since each response is different with a unique set of circumstances, the material requirements are constantly changing. Financial donations allow us to purchase what is initially needed until we can set up a point locally to receive donated material items.
Where do my donations go?
Donations go towards the costs associated with rescuing and helping animals. All our team members are volunteers, and currently no one receives any pay for their time or efforts. Costs can include travel, supplies, food, veterinary care, and necessities for our response team.
Are my donations tax deductible?
Yes. All donations are tax deductible as Global Animal Rescue And Response is an IRS recognized 501(c)3 non-profit organization. All donors will receive a donation letter for your taxes.
Can I volunteer to help without specialized rescue training?
Absolutely. We are always looking for volunteers to help with the intake and care of the animals we bring back from the field, along with other administrative roles during responses. During non-response times, we are happy to have help with administrative tasks, grants sourcing, and fundraising.
Angel Update (21 September 2024)
Angel has been doing well so far after surgery with Порятунок тварин Харків / Animal rescue Kharkiv, Ukraine at the clinic. She is trying to get up and put some weight on her rear end, but is just not ready yet to do that. She was not really her happy, smiling self on this visit, but she was also being titrated off her pain meds at this point and still in some discomfort.
Her recovery has been roughly at the speed expected. She is not to the point yet where she can get up and have the movement she wants, which is frustrating for her. She has tried multiple times on multiple visits to get up on her rear legs. That is clearly something she is not capable of doing. You can see the muscular atrophy in her rear end that is normal as part of the healing process.
Atrophy is a wasting away of the muscle tissue either from nutritional deficiencies or from a lack of use. In her case it is clearly from a lack of use and you can see the same effect in patients who have had casts removed. Once removed, the limb underneath is much smaller than the opposing side due to a lack of usage. Once she is up and moving again she will gain back her muscle mass and strength in her rear end. There might be a permanent limp due to the injury, but right now it is too soon to tell.
There will be another update coming from the clinic before our time in Ukraine is up. We hope you will keep this girl in your thoughts and prayers as she continues to make strides towards being strong again. She has an incredible home waiting for her in the US where she is going to get lots of exercise and playtime to strengthen that leg back up.

Little Dog + Dropped Leash = Big Problems (Part 2) (20 September 2024)
When we left you last on the previous video of us chasing the dog after Max dropped the leash, we thought he was gone. We had looked and chased him for awhile after he disappeared and there was just no more time at the location to keep running ourselves in circles.
So we left with our tails between our legs and a good leash still around the dog's neck. What are the odds I would ever get my leash back? Would Max ever hear the end of it for dropping the leash and letting the dog get away? The outcome of one would dictate the outcome of the other for sure.
After going to the south part of the city where we dealt with a very close airstrike (aftermath video posted) we went back awhile later just to see if the dog was there. One of us thought he would come back to his house and the other was not quite sure, but was getting ribbed about dropping the leash.
When we pulled up, net in hand, I walked in and headed back to his house with images of him hiding inside and the tail end of my leash hanging out of the front opening. Past repetitive history has shown this not to be the case at all, but we can always still hope. While heading back I looked into the nook of the door entrance and there he was!!!! The best part was the leash was still around his neck, albeit disgusting and covered with who knows what.
Quickly the net came down upon our prey, but that was possibly not the end of it. He started pushing back and the boards lifted up creating an opening. This was enough for him to get out of based on our already past experiences with him. So Max was called as I stepped behind to get a foot on the board to keep it from pushing out for him to escape.
In the end we got our doggie. I got my nasty leash back, and we continued on with a broken van saving lives. Could things have gone better? Yup. Could they have gone worse? Of course, and we were surprised they did not. But in the end we got our doggie, got the leash back, and were able to keep working saving lives and helping those in need.
