The HALTER Project is a grass-roots program with a vision: To help animals and their people in emergencies and disasters by supporting efforts of individuals, communities, and agencies to train and prepare for a ready response to, and the care of, animals in everyday emergencies and large-scale disasters.
THE HALTER Project supports local fire agencies, Animal & Emergency Services, and community emergency and animal disaster response groups, to bring needed information and training resources to rural residents and other at-risk neighborhoods.
HALTER helps the whole community improve outcomes for animals in emergencies and disasters by encouraging local agencies, businesses, non-profits, faith-based and neighborhood groups to communicate and collaborate.
ALL SPECIES! ALL HAZARDS! ALL SAFE!
