Our deepest condolences go out to the families and communities impacted by the historic tornadoes that hit six states in the central and southeast regions of the United States. We are rushing aid to our partner Animal Lifeline working with local animal shelters in Kentucky. Our teams are in contact with other partners throughout the regions and stand ready to support them as well. Stay tuned for updates as life-saving efforts continue.
