Saratoga CART seeking volunteers

The Saratoga County Animal Emergency Response Team (CART) is an emergency response team dedicated to serving the needs of animals (and, by extension, their owners) in an emergency situation. Saratoga CART consists of representatives from Agriculture and Markets; Cooperative Extension; Saratoga County Public Health; USDA Farm Service; the Saratoga County Animal Shelter; Sara­toga County Emergency Services; local veterinarians and valued volunteers. The important mission of Saratoga CART is: “To protect livestock, domesticated animals including com­panion animals, the public health, the environment and to ensure the humane care and treatment of animals in case of a large scale natural, man-made or technological emer­gency or other situations that cause animal suffering.”

Saratoga CART is actively seeking new volunteers. If you’d like to learn more about becoming a volunteer with Saratoga CART, its next meeting is Friday, March 11, at 2:30 p.m. at the Saratoga County Animal Shelter, 6010 County Farm Rd., Ballston Spa, NY 12020.
