LONGMONT, Colo — A Colorado nonprofit has developed an app to streamline the process for transporting animals during an emergency. The Colorado Horse Rescue launched,"HorseAlert" to help save animal and human lives.
Gregory said they noticed the need after they had to evacuate the rescue's 60 horses during the Marshall and Calwood fires. Most rescues and ranches don't have enough trailers to transport their horses, so they reach out to neighbors for help on social media. Unfortunately, too many people can cause more harm than good.
After noticing issues with rescue efforts, the nonprofit partnered with Initial Capacity, a software consultancy, to develop"Horse Alert." The app connects horse owners with the exact amount of trailers nearby to transport their horses. "HorseAlert is going to help us get the information we need ahead of time," said Irina Rapport, one of the 50 drivers for HorseAlert.
