Noah's Wish was a charity that rescues and takes care of animals endangered by natural disasters.
They shelter, feed and provide medical care for the animals until they can be returned to their owners or housed more permanently.
Based in El Dorado Hills, California, the organization has helped relief efforts internationally, such as after the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami hit Sri Lanka in December 2004 and after the August 2005 flooding in Romania.
Outside of relief work, the organization trains volunteers to deal effectively and practically in disaster situations.
