Animal Rescue Corps

Animal Rescue Corps protects dogs, cats, and other domesticated animals across North America and beyond through large-scale Emergency Animal Rescue & Disaster Response, Shelter Relief, and Education & Training.

Why ARC?

Right this moment, animals are suffering in situations of large-scale cruelty and neglect, in places that lack the resources to help them. Many regions don't have any animal services or shelters at all; others cannot extend already stretched resources for exceptionally large situations.

But it doesn't have to be this way.

Animal Rescue Corps (ARC) is a 501(c)(3) national nonprofit animal protection organization founded in 2010 that takes direct action in three ways. First, we conduct emergency rescues of animals who fall victim to abuse and disaster. Second, we offer interventions to move high-risk and at-need animals from low-adoption shelters into high-adoption regions and offer other critical assistance to in-need shelters and communities. Third, we raise public awareness of animal suffering, and we offer training for animal shelters, professionals, civilians, and volunteers.
