CT State Animal Response Team

CTSART Region 2 has one 8×20’ trailer which contains all necessary materials to set up an indoor or stand-alone outdoor animal shelter to house 250 animals and six 6×10’ easily transported trailers which contain enough material to set up a small, indoor animal shelter to house about 50 animals.

All of our active team members have completed CERT Training as well as the required series of online FEMA Emergency Management Institute courses. We hold bimonthly volunteer meetings which rotate among the towns within region 2. Topics include, but are not limited to animal behavior and handling, sheltering, CPR/First Aid, and zoonotic diseases. We also hold periodic training exercises where participants gain hands on practice and experience to facilitate a safe response to animal emergencies.

The volunteers in Region 2 have diverse backgrounds, some of which do not work directly in the animal field. We are always looking for additional enthusiastic volunteers. Please contact us if you have any interest in joining the Region 2 CTSART team.
