Today, the New York State Office of Homeland Security (OHS) announced a new grant to enhance county emergency animal sheltering capabilities. The Companion Animal Sheltering Equipment (CASE) Grant, totaling $250,000, was made possible through the State Homeland Security Program. This grant supports local planning, procurement of animal sheltering equipment, emergency animal shelter training, and exercising.

“County Emergency Management Offices (or their designees), working together regionally, can request up to $50,000 to develop animal sheltering capability.” said F. David Shepherd, Acting Assistant Director of the Federal Grant Program Administration at OHS.

This grant will facilitate the development of County Animal Response Teams (CARTs) and enhance the State’s capability to shelter companion animals during emergencies. We are pleased to have the support of the Office of Homeland Security in this effort and look forward to future collaboration to support animal and agriculture protection.
