The ARM COVID 19 Animal Support Program

Help Keep Animals Safe and Out of Area Shelters During the COVID-19 Crisis

We all need to be there for each other, especially our animal friends  in this time of crisis. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt our daily routines, we all need an emergency plan to keep your animal companions safe if you were to become sick.

Communities struggling with financial hardship are especially at-risk during this time. The team at The Animal Rescue Mission (ARM) is working 24/7 to make sure every animal companion is safe and remains out of area shelters.

The  COVID-19 Animal Support Program is an emergency response plan established to help pet owners in the LA area. 

When a pet parent realizes they need to leave for medical assistance, they can send an email notifying the ARM team. A plan will be implemented to care for that person’s animals such as daily visitations for cats and foster homes for dogs.

Help assist this  unique program with a generous donation!

The ARM COVID-19 Animal Support Program would ensure residents seek the medical attention they need while volunteers from ARM assist in the care of their animal companions.

This all volunteer organization needs your financial support. Funds are needed for protective gear for the volunteers, food and supplies for foster homes, transportation expenses and animal care.

Please donate what you can!
