WHO WE ARE

Our
Mission & Values

PC A.I.D. is dedicated to the procurement of a mobile veterinary response unit and assembly of a team of dedicated, skilled, and passionate veterinarians and technicians to bring quality veterinary care to displaced animals in disasters.  

It was on the trip to Vidor, TX in September 2017 that Paws & Claws A.I.D. was born. Members of the team, having experienced the scope of one of the most destructive hurricanes in U.S. history, saw the need for a disaster veterinary response unit for the N.C. coast. A board of directors was carefully selected and assembled to begin the task of developing a new organization.  It is our objective to steward your donations well, to represent the fields of veterinary medicine and rescue/response with dignity and integrity, and to serve with humility the animals and people who are victims of disaster.    

Board of Directors

The organization is overseen by a Board of Directors, who together have a combined 150+ years of emergency response, veterinary medicine, and business management experience.
