The Emergency Animal Rescue Service (EARS) is a program of United Animal Nations, a national organization based in California. EARS specializes in establishing and managing emergency shelters for animals in times of disaster or other emergencies. They typically partner with other organizations -- usually the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), ASPCA, American Humane Association -- which take the lead in the rescue and bring EARS in to assist in the rescue and run the shelter.

I've been deployed twice by EARS. The first time was in Maine for the seizure of over 200 animals from a puppy mill. The 2nd time was in March, 2010, in rural DeKalb,Mississippi for the seizure of 180 dogs from a hoarder. At the Mississippi deployment, I was part-time Communications Assistant, writing the daily blog and taking photograph. Here are some of the photographs I took . . .
