Camden County is transitioning from a volunteer CART model to a career-staffed Animal Task Force to ensure faster, more reliable response during emergencies involving animals. Career personnel provide guaranteed availability, standardized training, and full integration with fire, EMS, and emergency management operations, improving safety for responders, the public, and animals alike. This approach reduces liability, strengthens accountability, and ensures that pets and livestock can be rescued, medically cared for, and sheltered – helping residents feel confident to evacuate when needed.
