On May 9, 2019, Animal Investigation Response (AIR) provided assistance to Rowdy Girl Sanctuary in evacuating 133 of their animals to protect them from flood waters. Through the efforts of AIR and several other rescue organizations cattle, chickens, ducks, pigs, lamb and other farm animals were evacuated and moved to safety. President and co-founder Monica Ailey reached out to us at TXDM following this incident to inform the staff of the organization?s mission. AIR aids not only dogs but all animals, and because of this story, TXDM has decided to feature two rescue organizations in this edition. This Texas-based 501(c)(3) animal protection organization
assists law
enforcement, animal
control agencies and communities with animal abuse related issues such as puppy mills and animal hoarding, as well as disaster relief. To learn more, to get involved or to donate, please visit animalinvestigationand response.org.
