What is Rescue Force?
Rescue Force is a community volunteer resource to help animals in need that connects through our Rescue Alert Mobile app available at https://www.RescueAlert.org, and available on Apple’s App Store, and Google’s Play Store.
Who is Rescue Force?
YOU ARE! Rescue Force is all of us willing to volunteer time, skills, and resources to help animals in need. The Rescue Alert app was created by an international team of volunteer animal rescuers, developers, and
How to join Rescue Alert?
You sign up on our mobile app or website at https://www.RescueAlert.org, create a profile for you and your animals, add your qualifications, skills, and resources, and start receiving notifications when people in your area request help for their animals.
When someone requests help, the app will notify the volunteers in their area. If the request requires people with specific qualifications, skills, or resources, then the alerts are only sent to those people. When a volunteer accepts the request, both parties immediately get in touch via chat to discuss details.
How much does Rescue Alert cost?
This project is 100% donation funded. We believe there should be no cost of any kind to request or give help. We expect volunteers to cover their own costs if they respond to a request. There should never be any expectation of payment. No one should ever benefit off of the misfortune of others.
When do you expect development to be complete?
Never. We want to continually add features and functionality to the apps to make rescuing animals easier, more efficient, and safer.
If you receive more donations than is needed to continue the development of the apps, for what purpose will that extra money be used?
- Open our own animal sanctuaries and directly support other sanctuaries and rescues.
- Purchase vehicles and equipment to allow us to directly engage in animal rescue.
- Develop “Resource Shares” that allow volunteers, animal rescues, and sanctuaries to have access to resources they couldn’t otherwise afford alone.
- Develop our own pet tracking products.
- Develop our own rescue gear.
- Hire people to actively engage in animal rescue.
Will any individuals or other organizations be prevented or restricted in anyway from using the app?
Our position is that if any person or organization is helping animals, then they will be allowed to use the app. However, if an individual or organization is found to be using the app to harm animals in anyway, they will be banned from using the app and targeted for legal action.
