The CART leader meeting yesterday went great! We had 30 people, including vets, EMs, ACOs, police, fire, etc. attend. I think (hope) that we'll have a CART in Johnson County very soon! It will be nice to have that part of Kansas covered! Thanks to everyone for working so hard to make this happen!

Hi all. This is a forum where we can all get to know other people across the state of Kansas who are creating County Animal Response Teams. Feel free to voice frustrations, questions, share stories and advice and get to know everyone.

We look forward to the process of getting a group of trained volunteers from around Kansas who can respond to animal needs during disasters!

Don't forget about our training on July 26 and 27 in Wichita!! See you there.
