As of September 18, Animal Supply Points established after Hurricane Harvey by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension have closed and are no longer accepting donations.
In the first two weeks after the storm, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension helped establish, staff and collect and distribute supplies for 13 Animal Supply Points, fielded nearly 5,000 phone calls from across the country from people who want to donate hay, feed and supplies, and coordinated daily with Texas Department of Emergency Management, Texas Animal Health Commission, Texas Army National Guard and agriculture industry partners to get supplies to where they were needed.
Most animals have now either returned to their owners or relocated to longer-term care arrangements, so the Animal Supply Points have closed and donations are no longer being accepted.
More information about animal shelters or other donation options can be found through the Texas Department of Agriculture’s Hay Hotline: www.texasagriculture.gov/Home/ProductionAgriculture/HayHotline.
