Animal Help Now's (AHNow's) Wildlife Emergency service connects people who encounter injured or orphaned wildlife with the closest, most appropriate wildlife rehabilitators and other wildlife emergency experts. The service was accessed almost 127,000 times in 2023, a slight drop from the Covid-inflated figure of 2022. 0 71020 AHNow's Wildlife Conflict service connects people who are experiencing a "nuisance" wildlife issue with wildlife control operators who provide cost-effective, long-term and truly humane solutions (BCSPCA guidelines). This service was accessed 11,184 times in 2023, a 9% increase over 2022. 0 14884 AHNow launched its Pet Help & Rescue app for iPhones on December 27, 2023 (Android followed in July 2024). In 2022, in the wake of Colorado's Marshall Fire, which claimed the lives of an estimated one thousand dogs, cats, and other beloved animal companions, as well as destroying Animal Help Now's headquarters, the organization began work on a new app, giving humans a way to significantly increase the chances that their dogs and cats and other dependent animals will survive when disasters strike. For more information, see www.PHaR.org. 0 139749 AHNow's Wildlife Cruelty Investigations operated in maintenance mode in 2023. The organization supported its caseload but took on no new cases. The program exists because when someone is cruel to a wild animal, law enforcement cannot always be counted on to investigate. This is especially true when the identity of the perpetrator or the location of the incident, or both, are unknown. When Animal Help Now learns of incidents involving cruelty to wildlife, we do our best to help ensure the perpetrator is identified and brought to justice. AHNow currently limits its investigations to the sharing on social media of depictions of acts of cruelty to wildlife. AHNow is able to use these same social media platforms to reach hundreds of thousands of people, generating tips that help identify those involved with producing and sharing such depictions of cruelty. 0 655 AHNow's Wildlife Rehabilitator Emergency Fund (WREF) program aims to provide material support to wildlife rehabilitation centers and home-based wildlife rehabilitators during times of crisis. AHNow maintains the most current and comprehensive database of wildlife emergency helpers (most notably, wildlife rehabilitators) in the United States. Because Animal Help Now has contact information for these operations, the organization can quickly and easily offer and provide aid to wildlife rehabilitators when they are impacted by disasters and other emergencies. These impacts may be direct, such as property damage or costs associated with evacuating animals, or indirect, such as those incurred by a non-threatened facility taking animals from a facility in a disaster's path. In 2023, WREF distributed a total of 44 grants, totalling $17,110, including 14 grants totalling $6,000 following Hurricane Ian (Southeast US, Nov 2022); seven grants totalling $2,600 following atmospheric rivers (CA, Jan 2023); two grants totalling $900 following Hurricane Hilary (CA, Aug 2023); and 21 grants totalling $7,600 following Hurricane Idalia (Southeast US, Aug 2023). Funds were delivered, on average, within 48 hours of requests. 15000 16705 AHNow's online educational materials were accessed almost 19,000 times in 2023, a decrease from 21,000 the Covid bubble of 2022. The organization also had significant social media engagement (see AnimalHelpNow, AnimalHelpNowApp, and PHaR).
