Mission Statement
We are a group of trained, organized
volunteers who will do our best to
help evacuate animals in time of disaster. Fire personnel fight fires, saving human lives and preserving property. Usually, they do not have the time, the training, or the wherewithal to evacuate animals. This is where we come in. Our purpose is to
help save the animals.
What do we do?
Functioning in a disaster under the Office of Emergency Services (OES),
and Animal Services, our membership's Registered Disaster Service Workers will
endeavor to evacuate animals from areas in danger.
We are dispatched and directed through Animal
Services.
Although we began as a large animal evacuation group, we soon realized we could not leave other pets behind if we had the opportunity to remove them. Our trailer teams will do their best to remove all pets from danger.
How to Sign Up...
Member information forms are posted in the Forms section. Please feel free to print, complete and mail to us or bring to a meeting (see
Calendar for regularly scheduled meetings).
Our meetings are the 2nd Thursday of each month.
Plan on attending, either as our guest and
potential member or if you're just curious.
Are you a new owner of a horse or other large animal?
Our membership includes experts on just about any large animal, including emus. They are glad to help out with explaining some of the basics about animal care. Most new horse owners, for instance, do not know about recommended worming or shoeing schedules. Please let us help!
Our annual clinic,
HORSE BASICS & BEYOND
is tailored to provide basic horse ownership
information with more detailed lectures and
exhibitions for the long time horse owner.
We're never too old to learn. This is an
annual fall event - this year it will be
November 7, 2009 at the Placerville Fairgrounds.
RAIN OR SHINE, everything is either indoors or
under cover.
We will have lectures indoors, exhibitions
outdoors, raffles, prizes, vendors and
refreshments. Look for our beautiful
posters in September.
Additional web information a little later in
August.

always appreciated, as well as volunteer
members to staff our booths. Keep
Sclar in mind when you're doing your spring
cleaning. We participate in the
Diamond Springs Labor Day Bazaar.
Each year we also participate in a local
tack swap. In addition to needing
unused halters and lead ropes for our
evacuation efforts, we also sell gently used
farm/ranch items at the tack swap.
Your donations would be much appreciated.

to make any donations.
