The Canadian Disaster Animal Response Team (CDART) is the emergency animal rescue division of Critteraid.

CDART members respond in times of disaster and emergencies when domestic animals are in need of rescue and sheltering.

Members are mobilized when local authorities request CDART's help and when the Provincial Emergency Program's Emergency Social Services is activated.  In specific communities, CDART has long-time established teams but will answer requests for help through local, provincial and federal government agencies.

Critteraid is a registered not-for-profit society registered as The Summerland Cat Sanctuary based in Summerland, BC, Canada. You can learn about Critteraid at www.critteraid.org

Whom we work with:

CDART works well with local authorities including municipalities and regional districts.

CDART volunteers will deploy to specific areas of disaster/emergency once requested and will report to ESS teams in local communities or to the Ministry of Agriculture as required.
