Rescue Force builds, operates, and continuously develops Rescue Alert — a free platform that connects everyone working to keep animals safe.
Animal rescue runs on cooperation, but the community doing the work has always been scattered — phone trees, social-media groups, spreadsheets, and sticky notes. When minutes matter, that patchwork costs lives.
We replace it with one shared network. On Rescue Alert, anyone can report an animal in need, volunteers respond within the distance they choose, organizations manage their animals and people, and coordinators run entire evacuations — together, in real time.
Rescue Alert brings every part of the rescue world onto the same map, the same alerts, and the same plans.
Neighbors who spot an animal in trouble can raise the alarm in seconds — and see help actually arrive.
Families keep profiles, medical records, and microchip info ready — and can alert nearby volunteers the moment a pet is lost or in danger.
Responders, fosters, and transporters get alerted to animals near them and plug into the events, groups, and teams that need them.
Organizations track animals and custody, coordinate staff and volunteers, and reach the right people instantly.
Sanctuaries large and small plan evacuations for every animal in their care — before the emergency, not during it.
Wildlife rescuers and rehabilitators are alerted when wild animals are in trouble — from a deer tangled in a fence to storm-downed raptors.
Vet records flow straight into an animal's profile — clinics receive record requests and send histories that AI organizes for whoever cares for the animal next.
National and regional organizations engaged in animal rescue and disaster relief coordinate volunteers, transports, and mutual aid at scale.
The people running the response see volunteers, transports, and hazards live on one map, and direct the operation as it unfolds.
Our second job is continued development: Rescue Alert keeps growing, and it stays free.
There are no ads, no subscriptions, and no charge to rescues or the public. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we develop Rescue Alert year-round alongside the people who use it — rescuers tell us what they need in the field, and we build it, on the web and in the iOS and Android apps.
Recent work includes AI-organized medical records, the live Rescue Command operations map, staged evacuation planning and execution, and fire and flood warnings for the places you care about. Every bit of it is funded by donations.
A complete session on getting animals out safely: planning before the emergency, supply and feed checklists, training animals to load, routes and navigation, driving through fire, smoke and flooding, what to do when you cannot leave, and what happens at the destination.
