But your help is still needed to rescue the animals. From the Humane Society of the United States:

	As you read this, our rescue teams are saving lives.

Mother Nature is wreaking havoc in parts of the country, and animal rescue teams from The Humane Society of the States are working desperately to save animals in peril from the floods in Iowa.

Watch this slideshow of our rescuers at work; then please make an emergency contribution today to keep our teams on the ground.

The HSUS disaster responders are performing land and water rescues and running emergency shelters in cooperation with state officials and other groups.

Since Saturday, our teams have brought hundreds of animals to safety, including about 40 who had to be left behind when their guardians were forced to evacuate their assisted-living residence five days earlier. We are working as fast as we can, but sadly, hundreds of animals are still out there waiting for us to rescue them. Please consider making a special gift to our Disaster Relief Fund today.

We urgently need your support to help reunite these vulnerable animals with their loved ones. Please consider making a special gift to our Disaster Relief Fund today. Thank you for all you do for animals.

Sincerely,

Wayne Pacelle
President & CEO
The Humane Society of the United States

P.S. The HSUS also just responded to wildfires in California, helping to save nearly 450 animals. Your donation today will be used to support all our disaster relief efforts.
