The WASART Training Program
 
A major part of what makes WASART unique among animal welfare organizations is our deep commitment to training our members to respond to animal emergency situations, whether wide–scale disasters or individual animal emergencies. Whether for setting up and operating emergency animal shelters, rescuing animals in jeopardy from natural disasters or their own, individual and unique emergencies, or transporting animals from danger to safety, we only deploy our members who are trained and credentialed for the situations in which they are deployed. We try to emphasize hands-on training with live animals whenever possible, and bring the perspective of instructors who are experienced in a wide variety of emergency situations. Please investigate our training program further by reviewing our complete Training Curriculum.
