As some of you may know, I volunteer with the Lehigh Valley Animal Response Team (LVCART).  We have been in the organizational stage for about a year now and we are just about ready to go live.  When disaster strikes, there are many organizaations that come to aid humans.  But, there are people that will not evacuate because they do not wish to leave their beloved pets behind.  This is where the LVCART comes into play.  LVCART will respond to any emergency situation affecting animals.
