ClassONE Save Our Pets Project
ClassONE Save Our Pets Project is excited to announce its strategic partnership with the Pennsylvania Animal Response Team (PART) to bolster the efforts in rescuing animals during emergencies and providing vital disaster preparedness training and resources.
The collaboration between ClassONE and PART is rooted in a shared commitment to enhance the safety and well-being of animals affected by crises. By combining resources and expertise, the partnership will significantly improve direct rescue operations and strategic emergency planning.
One of the most critical aspects of this partnership involves local fundraising efforts spearheaded by ClassONE, which directly contribute to PART’s operational capabilities. These initiatives ensure that PART has the necessary financial backing to act swiftly and effectively when emergencies arise.
ClassONE Save Our Pets Project proactively supports PART’s disaster preparedness training programs. These programs are designed to establish a robust network of knowledgeable responders who are equipped to provide immediate assistance to animals in crisis situations.
Through this collaboration, ClassONE assists in supplying and equipping County Animal Response Teams (CARTs). This effort ensures that local responders have the tools and resources required to handle emergencies with enhanced efficiency and effectiveness.
PAW GRANTS
The ClassONE Save Our Pets Project is also responsible for the funding of Paw Grants. These grants are specifically aimed at providing adoption fee assistance for families who have lost pets in fires, offering them a chance to heal and rebuild their lives with new furry companions.
ClassONE Save Our Pets Project and PART are committed to making a significant difference in the lives of animals and families affected by disasters. The partnership is an open invitation for the community to join in these efforts and support initiatives aimed at saving and protecting pets.

'Save Our Pets Project' Pet Walk and Fundraiser Event
Help Equip Emergency Responders with Life-Saving Oxygen Masks for Pets
ClassONE Property Restoration is excited to announce the inaugural ClassONE Save Our Pets Project Pet Walk and Fundraiser Event. This event will be held on Sunday, September 8, 2024, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Lancaster Junction Recreational Trail in Manheim, PA. Its primary aim is to raise essential funds to provide local fire departments and other emergency responders with life-saving pet oxygen mask kits, ensuring they can swiftly assist pets suffering from smoke inhalation after being rescued from burning homes.
According to American Humane, approximately 40,000 pets die in house fires each year. ClassONE is committed to addressing this critical issue. All proceeds from the event will go towards purchasing pet oxygen mask kits and supporting other crucial pet emergency services, such as funding the Pennsylvania Animal Response Team (PART) and ClassONE’s Paw Grants. These grants help cover adoption-related fees for families looking to adopt a pet after losing their own in a fire.
PART’s Director, Sarah Speed highlighted that partnering with ClassONE Save Our Pets project will ensure their volunteers have the necessary tools to assist animals in peril.
This family-friendly event welcomes participants and attendees of all ages, with or without pets. The event promises a variety of engaging activities, including pet-friendly vendors, amazing draw prizes donated by local businesses, food trucks, a pet photoshoot, caricature drawings, and a chance to explore fire trucks. All these activities aim to unite the community in support of an important cause.
Entry to the event is free; however, those wishing to participate in the pet walk must register their pets online at classonerestoration.com. The registration fee is $25 per pet, and registrants will receive an event goodie bag that includes a t-shirt and a bandanna for their pet.
"We are thrilled to launch this event and bring our community together to support such a vital cause," said Jessica Rosito, co-founder of ClassONE Property Restoration. "By equipping our local emergency responders with the right tools, we can save countless pet lives and support families in distress. We hope everyone will come out, have fun, and contribute to this important initiative."
