Rescue Work and Field Deployments

Dick Green, the ASPCA’s Senior Director of Disaster Response, wasn’t surprised when the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services asked the ASPCA to support the Lumberton County search and rescue efforts in the wake of Hurricane Matthew.

“The ASPCA spent about nine months in Lumberton last year for a large animal cruelty case, caring for 40 horses at the county fairgrounds, which were now completely underwater,” says Dick, who also fielded requests from officials in Georgia and South Carolina.
