The Arizona Humane Society has a new tool to rescue dogs and cats – an animal ambulance. “Our EAMTs and our cruelty investigators are out 365 days a year. Being able to have this state of the art beautiful truck on the road, we're going to be able to impact up to potentially thousands more pets in the Valley.'
It was bought with a $100,000 donation for emergency animal medical technicians who say their goal is to save lives.
That's why they really needed this ambulance. The money was donated in memory of local media personality, Bill Austin, who passed away from bladder cancer. "The reason we are very proud of this truck, it is lifted a little more, so we can take it more places. It's got a lot of power and the kennels we have added to the back are a little deeper," Andy Gallo, an EAMT, said."We deal with everything. We deal with hoards, which kind of seems to be one of our biggest ones right now," he explained.
