In 2005, 435 EARS volunteers cared for more than 2,100 animal victims of Hurricane Katrina and later, Hurricane Rita at six locations in three states. In June 2008, UAN deployed to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to care for nearly 900 animals displaced by historic flooding there. UAN's LifeLine Grant Program helps pet owners, rescue groups, Good Samaritans, non-profit organizations and others obtain urgent veterinary care for animals in life-threatening situations. UAN was founded in Sacramento, California in 1987 and is not affiliated with United Animal Nations (International) based in Switzerland. == Programs == The Emergency Animal Rescue Service (EARS) shelters and cares for animals displaced by natural disasters and other crises, such as criminal seizures and hoarding cases, in the United States and Canada.
