The following list is comprised of local and national organizations, grass roots groups, and rescue groups working to help the people and animals who have been affected by hurricane Harvey. I have not evaluated any of the organizations/groups listed. Please do so before making any donations. If you know of another resource that should be added to this list, please post it below, and be sure to provide a link.
Trying to decide whether you should donate supplies or money? NPR has an excellent article on why donating money is your best option: Want To Help Hurricane Harvey Victims? Experts Say Donate Cash. But please, before donating to any group, make sure you’re donating to a reputable organization.
I live in Austin, TX and I’ve had a lot of people outside Texas ask me if there is a reputable group to donate to. Austin Pets Alive! is an excellent organization. They’ve been around since 2008 and are leading the rescue efforts. They are working closely with Houston Pets Alive!
