*******************************************************************

(Mod Note: I understand they may be waiving adoption fees, and of
course if you can pick up the animal it would be even better, as I'm
sure their transport is limited. Also, it might be a good
opportunity for providing community elderly with small, older pets
who are vaccinated and in good health as companion animals)

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 o! f these pets will have to be euthanized if they are not moved
to m ake 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.

Are they adopting animals out to people rather than trying to find their owners? And it sounds like they would euthanize some of them if they run out of room?! How horrible! people who have lost everything only to find out their pets were also put to sleep. :cry:

 

I believe they are trying everything they can to find the owners. But it sounds like if they don't adopt/foster these animals out, the shelter will gas them :-(
