I know we are all worried about the people who are victims of Hurricane
Katrina, but I got this email from a friend of mine who knows I am an animal
love
r. Since we have one Momma dog who just gave birth 6 weeks ago to 5 puppies
and another one who is due to give birth any day now, I don't know that I
will be able to take any more animals in. My neighbors are already looking at
me with raised eyebrows. As if I would actually consider keeping all of the
new babies. All but one has already been promised a home, but the neighbors
don't know that.
Just thought I'd pass this on....FYI
If you can give a cat or a dog a home please read the following:
Transport Provided to Anywhere - Room Desperately
Needed! (For the Animal Victims of Katrina)
There is transportation provided, with people ready
and waiting, for upwards of 200 dogs and 150 cats so
far rescued from the devastation of hurricane Katrina.
What these animals need is a place to go. Kennels,
boarding, vets offices, shelters with any extra space,
foster homes and rescues. Even one or two open kennels
would greatly help.
From what we know, all animals have been vaccinated
and are in good health considering the conditions.
There are dogs and cats of every breed and size. Some
are in groups of two, three or four, hailing from the
same family, while some are solitary. ANY KENNEL SPACE
AVAILABLE CAN CERTAINLY BE USED. These drivers are
willing to move these animals ANYWHERE they need to
go. Absolutely anywhere.
The current safe houses for these animals are being
inundated and some of these pets will have to be
euthanized if they are not moved to make room for the
incoming animals.
Please feel free to pass on this information
everywhere. Every forum, every list, every community.
REMEMBER THESE ANIMALS WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO YOU.
If you know anyone, anywhere, that is willing to take
in even one cat or dog, please have them contact Lynda
at the information provided below.
They are also asking for ANY kind of donations for the
animals - money, food, bedding, water, etc.
