Marshall fire victim and animal rights activist Dave Crawford spent a year creating an animal rescue app.

Mike Neustedter and his family were a thousand miles away from their Superior home on Dec. 30, 2021, as a windswept wildfire tore toward their Original Town neighborhood.nearly 1,200 pets that didn’t survive the Marshall fire“If someone had known pets were in these houses, it could have been a different story. But nobody knew,” said Neustedter, whose dog was spared by accompanying the family on the road trip to Illinois. “We had a cat that no one even knew existed.

“And that was only in one square block,” Crawford said. “The Pet Help and Rescue app helps you create a trusted network of potential rescuers and quickly and effectively communicate key information to them if and when your pets need to be evacuated.”The app allows people to list their animals by species, breed and description, with the option to include a photo of the pet.

“Stress can impair decision-making,” Crawford said. “The app will allow you to decide well in advance of a stressful situation who you will turn to if you need help and what information, such as where your pets hide and where their medications are located, you will provide them.” “When you’re in a situation where you have to scramble, sometimes your brain is not there,” he said. “I regret to this day that I didn’t text them.”
