Dedicated to animal welfare through the preparation for and the actual rescue and shelter of domestic animals in a disaster.

CDART volunteers respond in times of disaster and emergencies when domestic animals are in need of rescue and sheltering.

Volunteers are mobilized when local authorities request CDART's help. We work closely with ESS (Emergency Social Services), the RCMP, Ministry of Agriculture representatives and PEP (Provincial Emergency Program) personnel.

Currently, we are assisting emergency services in relation to the many BC Wild fires.
