wink Sorry, Nugget, but I'm going to give you a little compitition this time! shrug

I would like to nominate Noah's Wish. This orginization is a bit different from most that are nominated in DDG. They only do one thing - go to disasters and rescue animals; fires, floods, what type of disaster doesn't matter. They are based in CA but travel all over to help rescue and shelter animals during disasters.

My mom first heard of them after Katrina hit. Here is some of what THEY say of themselves:

Who Is Noah's Wish?
Noah's Wish came into existence in 2002, not to duplicate existing efforts to help animals during disasters, but to expand on what was already in place. Too often, efforts to help animals during life threatening situations have been gravely inadequate. We recognize that animals need and deserve an organized, consistent and professionally managed national disaster relief program. They will, otherwise, continue to pay for human indifference with their lives. How animals are managed during disasters is to implement well thought out, field tested policies and procedures that are practiced in all disasters. Relief efforts for people are managed this way and we feel they should be for animals too.
We are not involved in any other animal welfare issues. It's not that we aren’t concerned about all the ways animals are abused or exploited, but there are a multitude of national and local animal welfare organizations who are tackling the issues that adversely affect animals.

Noah's Wish is a not-for-profit, animal welfare organization with a singular, straightforward mission - we exist to keep animals alive during disasters. That's it. Having just one focus, Noah's Wish is able to direct all our resources towards ending the needless suffering and death of animals when disaster strikes.

Here is their web site: http://www.noahswish.org/

Hope you check out their website and keep them in mind when voting time rolls around. dog
