KLAER (Kentucky Large Animal Emergency Response) provides veterinarians, first responders, and equine technicians certified in technical large animal rescue, as well as specialized equipment, to efficiently and effectively extricate large animals from extreme emergency situations. KLAER is a non-profit, charitable organization that offers this service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at no charge. KLAER is not a sanctuary for injured or abused animals; we provide our services to remove animals and their owners from harms way.
KLAER was founded in the fall of 2007 as a state-affiliated, nonprofit 501(c) 3 organization.
We provide voluntary services to the entire commonwealth of Kentucky for large animals in emergency situations.
Our team consists of highly trained volunteers such as active or retired firefighters, emergency medical personnel, state emergency management personnel, veterinarians, and technicians. We are trained for rescue from mud, water, fire, trailer, deep hole, and more.
