The
HALTER Project, established in 2013, is a grass-roots project
based in Sonoma County, California, dedicated to the safety and welfare of people and animals in emergencies and disasters. HALTER Project has a two-fold mission supporting planning and preparedness for animals and people.
FIRST
RESPONDER ANIMAL AWARENESS & RESPONSE:
HALTER Project provides support to first
responders for training, and equipment to assist animals in emergencies. This
includes sponsorship and scholarships for Animal Technical Rescue
Certification, grants for animal rescue equipment, collaborative development
and delivery of teaching tools, and fundraising assistance to agencies and NGOs
providing animal technical rescue services.
INDIVIDUAL
& COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS:
The HALTER Project is commited to inspiring
and enabling individual and community preparedness for people and their
animals. We connect people who care about animals – from family
pets, backyard chickens, fibershed animals, 4-H projects, to equine boarding
facilities, commercial dairies, and livestock ranches, with resources to be
safe and prepared in any emergency or disaster. We support local, regional, and national non-profits by promoting awareness of their work and achievements.
Our “Road to Readiness” has 2 paths. Whichever
you chose, we hope it leads you and your animals to safety in any emergency or
disaster.
