|
This just in from one of my pet rescue groups lists
Four Legged Victims Get Help ! > > RELEASE DATE : September5,2005 > Contact: Forpawssake@bellsouth.net > > CONYERS, GA - In a grassroots effort to start helping the four legged victims of Katrina, five no kill shelters in east Georgia have combined their resources to provide food and medical supplies to the St Francis Animal Sanctuary in Tylertown, MS. Three vehicles with supplies have reached them and today the first pets are being brought back to the Atlanta area for future adoption. > > “ The animals being brought to the Atlanta area are ones that had been relinquished to the shelters prior to the hurricane.”Said Lisa Zarem, For Paws Sake Founder. Zarem continues, > “ Bringing these pets to our shelters will give the shelters in the disaster area room to provide long term care for the pets displaced by Katrina and be reunited with their families.” > > For Paws Sake, Conyers, GA along with No More Homeless Pets, PAWS of Athens, Humane Society of Morgan County and Rotten Russell Rescue have donated their shelter food and supplies as well as vehicles and volunteers to drive the first supplies to St. Francis. > “We are currently looking for sponsors to help our donation drive as well as a van, truck or semi to carry the donations to the shelters in need.” said Ms. Zarem. > If you have any questions or would like to make a donation, please contact Lisa Zarem at ForPawsSake@Bellsouth.net or 404-285-7825. > For Paws Sake and the other shelters involved in this grassroots effort are a Section 501(C)(3) > Organizations under the Internal revenue. Donations are tax-deductible as charitable contributions. > Permission to crosspost and send to the media

1. At a Walmart in my town |

half of the truck trailer was filled up with dog food for the shelters to feed the pets left behind in this terrible disaster. They had to actually tell people to buy more water and grooming items rather than dog food. It's good to know that our canine friends aren't forgotten in this tragedy.
