Hurricane Harvey Relief Effort - National Humane Education Society
UPDATE 9/7/17: Thanks to generous donor support, NHES is distributing additional emergency funding to Austin Pets Alive! (APA) to help care for the ever-increasing number of animal victims of Hurricane Harvey that are coming into their care.
As of Saturday (Sept. 2), APA was sheltering an estimated 1,700 animals—and more have been arriving daily. NHES applauds APA’s work and all the volunteers who have given so generously to help care for these deserving animals—and we thank NHES’ donors for making these emergency distributions possible.

As NHES supporters, we hope that you will take some comfort in knowing that your financial support is helping to alleviate fear and provide comfort to hundreds of companion animals in need. After the flood waters recede and as many animals as possible have been reunited with their families, NHES will be offering placement assistance through The Briggs Animal Adoption Center for some of the remaining animal victims.
