Emergency Assistance & Crisis Response

Showing Up When Animals Need Help Most

Storms, power outages, extreme heat or cold, sudden intake surges—animal shelters and rescues can be pushed to the breaking point in an instant. When that happens, having extra trucks, supplies, and hands can make all the difference.

Trucks for Pups provides emergency assistance and crisis response support for shelters, rescues, foster networks, and community partners caring for God’s creatures during times of urgent need.

We can’t prevent disasters, but we can help you get through them.

How Trucks for Pups Helps in a Crisis

Emergency Supply Transport

When a crisis hits, basic supplies run out fast. Our team can help move:

  • Pet food and clean water
  • Crates, carriers, and temporary housing materials
  • Bedding, blankets, and cleaning supplies
  • Fans, heaters, and other comfort items when power or climate is an issue

We use our trucks to pick up donated items and deliver them where they are needed most.


Support During Power Outages & Extreme Weather

Extreme heat, cold, or prolonged outages can put animals at serious risk. Trucks for Pups can:

  • Help transport animals to safer partner locations
  • Deliver cooling or warming supplies and extra bedding
  • Assist with setting up temporary relief stations for animals in your care

We work alongside your team to protect animals when conditions become dangerous.


Overflow & Intake Surge Support

Sometimes the emergency isn’t a storm—it’s just too many animals at once. When your organization is overwhelmed, we can:

  • Assist with moving animals between partner organizations
  • Support logistics for emergency adoption or foster events
  • Provide extra hands to help with feeding, cleaning, and care

Our goal is to help you stabilize quickly so animals continue receiving safe and loving care.


Event & Relief Coordination With Partners

Trucks for Pups doesn’t act alone. We partner with:

  • Shelters and rescues
  • Churches and faith communities
  • Community groups and outreach ministries
  • Local businesses and donors

Together, we can organize emergency pet food distributions, temporary supply centers, and urgent care events for animals and the people who love them.
