Welcome to Animal Help Now's inaugural auction! We hope you're familiar with our lifesaving apps and enjoy browsing our eclectic auction catalog.

At Animal Help Now, each year affords us an opportunity to increase our positive impact on animals in need and the humans stepping up to help them. And each and every year, we affect more positive outcomes. Our groundbreaking apps continuously set new standards and advance the states of the art.

Please note that physical items in the catalog other than artwork (e.g., outdoor gear, bottles of wine, etc.) must be picked up in person. We'll have at least two pick-up locations along Colorado's Front Range and two pick-up dates, most likely December 4 and 6.

We're adding new items every day, so check back often!

Our Mission

Animal Help Now creates state-of-the-art apps in service to animals and the humans who care about them.

2024 Impacts

Our Wildlife Emergency service was accessed 124,815 times. On average, once every four minutes, someone somewhere in the United States used this service to ﬁnd emergency help, whether for a grounded red-tailed hawk, a rabbit attacked by a dog, a turtle hit by a car, or any number of other emergencies.
Our Wildlife Conﬂict service was accessed 12,911 times, by people seeking humane solutions to wildlife issues – demonstrating that more and more people are choosing compassionate, educated responses to coexistence challenges.
Our Educational resources, helping users manage wildlife emergencies, mitigate threats to wild animals, and effectively handle any animal emergency, were accessed 21,796 times.
Our Wildlife Rehabilitator Emergency Fund (WREF) rapidly distributes small grants to wildlife rehabilitators directly impacted by disasters, as well as those indirectly impacted (such as by seeing a disaster-related increase in the need for their services). In 2024 Animal Help Now distributed WREF grants totaling $37,515 to a total of 105 separate rehabilitation operations.

Historical Growth

Our New Pet Evacuation App

Animal Help Now developed Pet Help & Rescue app (PHaR), in the aftermath of the December 2021 Marshall Fire, which took the lives of more than a thousand beloved companion animals (and destroyed our headquarters). We launched PHaR on iOS in December 2023 and on Android in July 2024. Our hopes are high for this app to save tens of thousands of lives and spare guardians the anguish of losing their animal companions to a disaster.

The Animal Help Now Team

Our team is composed of employees, contractors and volunteers. All of our employees and volunteers are mission driven, and sympathy toward our cause is a key factor in our contractor hires. We have one full-time employee – Executive Director David Crawford – and four part-time employees. We tend to have a half dozen contractors at any given time. A few volunteers come and go, but we have a stable core of about 25, most of whom do tech or outreach work.
