We would like to thank Tractor Supply in Mount Joy for hosting Santa and CART for a pet photo fundraiser. Also a big thank you to April Showers Photography for taking some beautiful photos for the pet owners. It was a busy couple hours! We had a great turn out and raised money to put towards training and equipment.

If you happened to be one of the people that visited us, feel free to share your photo below.

We hope everyone enjoyed meeting Santa!

📣 Community Event Update!

This Sunday, members of Lancaster County Animal Response Team had the opportunity to connect with our community at an event generously sponsored by Class One Restoration.

We had some great conversations, handed out a couple dozen information packets, and shared children’s books and crayons with young animal lovers. We even collected a few donations and spoke with two people interested in becoming future volunteers! 🐾💙

A big thank you to Lara Fenstemaker, Jodi Shive, and Darryl Mitchell for helping staff our table and representing CART.

Every interaction helps spread awareness about our mission to support animals and their families during emergencies—and we’re excited to keep building momentum!

A special thank you goes out to Jessica Rosito and Class One Property Restoration / Class One Save Our Pets Project for inviting us to be a part of this wonderful event!

On Tuesday, Lancaster CART was requested to assist the Rawlinsville Volunteer Fire Company with a horse down on Delta Road in Martic Township. CART members were able to handle this request as a consultation, giving advice to the crews from our horse specialists via phone.

We are happy to hear the crews were able to get the horse to its feet and that is expected to make a full recovery!

It’s been a busy two weeks for the Lancaster CART. On Sunday, September 8th, our members participated in simultaneous public events in Salunga and Lancaster City. On Wednesday, September 11th, we attended Mission BBQ’s event honoring area responders. On Saturday the 14th, we joined our partners at Lancaster County Department of Public Safety at their 1st annual Preparedness Day event at the Lancaster Farm & Home Center. We followed that event with a Pet First Aid/CPR course at the Lafayette Fire Company on Sunday the 15th. The class was taught by Dr. Erica from Lehigh Valley CART.

We’d like to thank our all-volunteer members for their time and dedication, as well as our partners in the community for the invitations and collaboration.
