We're working to put an Animal Emergency Response Unit on the road in West Texas — ready to deploy the moment a wildfire, tornado, flood, or apartment fire threatens pets and families in our community.
When catastrophe hits Abilene and the surrounding region, pet owners are often forced to make an impossible choice: their own safety, or their animals. In this entire area, there is currently no dedicated animal emergency response unit. That has to change.
West Texas is no stranger to fast-moving grass fires. In minutes, horses, livestock, dogs, and cats can be cut off from escape routes. Speed and preparedness are everything.
Tornado season can devastate entire neighborhoods in seconds, leaving animals trapped in rubble, injured, or wandering in panic while families shelter elsewhere.
Sudden downpours in the Texas plains can send walls of water through neighborhoods. Pets left home alone have no way to escape rising water on their own.
When an apartment complex catches fire, dozens of families and their pets are displaced at once. Emergency shelter, reunification, and first aid are all needed immediately.
Ice storms, straight-line winds, and prolonged power outages put elderly pets and temperature-sensitive animals at serious risk of illness and death.
Gas explosions, structural failures, and other emergencies can leave pets trapped and injured, requiring immediate specialized rescue and medical triage.
When disaster strikes right now, there is no mobile unit equipped to respond, no rolling shelter, no on-scene medical support for animals. ASAP is stepping up to fill that gap — but we need your help to get there.
Our vision: a fully equipped Animal Emergency Response Unit that can roll out within minutes of a disaster call — loaded with everything needed to shelter, triage, and reunite pets with their families.
Wrapped with the ASAP brand and mission, this unit will serve as a visible beacon of hope in the community's darkest hours — keeping families together when it matters most.
The ASAP Emergency Response Unit isn't just a truck — it's a fully mobile command center designed to handle the full spectrum of animal emergencies in our region.
Onboard crating and climate control to temporarily house displaced animals safely while their owners find footing after a disaster.
Stocked with supplies to stabilize injured animals on-scene — from bandaging to trauma support — until veterinary care can be arranged.
Food, water, blankets, collars, leashes — everything families need in the immediate aftermath when they've lost everything.
Mobile capacity to collect lost pets, document them, and coordinate return to their owners — keeping families whole in the chaos.
Working alongside our existing drone and trap infrastructure to locate animals displaced or hiding in disaster-affected areas.
A visible, trusted presence on-scene that connects with first responders, shelters, and volunteers to coordinate the animal response effort.
