Your Gift Allows AIR To Do More

In 2026, we hired our first Emergency Services Manager — and the results speak for themselves: we've already doubled our impact! That's twice as many animals pulled from cruelty and neglect, twice as many law enforcement partners supported at no cost and twice as many lives given a second chance than past years. This dedicated team member, Kerri, is on the ground and ready 24/7 to field calls, provide support and engage volunteers and equipment to answer an agency's call for help in a fraction of the time as in the past. 

Your North Texas Giving Day gift today helps us sustain that role tomorrow — so every case receives the quick and professional response all animals deserve. 

Give today, and help us defend animal dignity at twice the pace.

2026 Response Highlights

• Winter Cats: Rescued 36 cats from unsanitary, overcrowded conditions alongside Bedford PD — every animal received full medical documentation and care before placement with the Humane Society of North Texas. Learn More
• St. Catrick's Pack: Responded to the largest animal cruelty case in Keene's history — extracting a household of cats plus one deaf, possibly visually impaired dog, while all were placed with partner shelters after full veterinary care. Learn More
• Bone Jovi Response: Answered an emergency call for dogs, cats, and reptiles suffering severe starvation and neglect — providing critical medical stabilization and a careful, monitored path to recovery. Learn More
• The Muttley Crüe: Stepped in for a rural sheriff's department with no animal shelter or rescue infrastructure, arranging veterinary care and rescue placement for a group of abandoned dogs. Learn More
• April Roos & Crew: Took in 350+ game birds recovered from an organized cockfighting operation, providing full daily care and covering all medical testing costs — standing by the animals through a difficult outcome because no matter what, animals deserve to experience the best love and care. Learn More

All ZERO cost to agencies. 

Every response was provided completely free to the requesting law enforcement agency or municipality — removing financial barriers between animals in crisis and the help they need.
