ALERT is dedicated to animal welfare through helping with evacuations, rescue and shelter of domestic animals and livestock in a disaster like wildfires. ALERT is run entirely by volunteers and all money raised goes directly to the care of animals.

This summer, ALERT took in dozens of animals and volunteered countless hours well into the night because of various wildfires, including the devastating McDougall Creek Wildfire in West Kelowna.
