help the pets and families
PLEASE READ:
i know that people are more important than animals and the humans affected by the hurricane need all the help that they can get. But hurricane shelters did not allow pets so many were left in their homes when people had to evacuate; their owners hoping that everything would be ok. a story appeared on the news about hospital officals euthanizing their own pets and the pets of those who had sought refuge in the hospital as a last resort instead of turning them free to die in the weather. another story about a woman who offered family hierlooms in order to bribe her pets way into a hurricane shelter, only to be told that pets are not allowed.
the animals who managed to survive need help and fast. if anyone has ANY money to spare PLEASE donate to www.noahswish.com. they are an organization that is trying to reunite the survivors with their pets by going door to door of destroyed homes and taking alive animals to makeshift shelters where pet owners can search for their pet. "People are getting desperate to find their animals" (quote from the website). the organization is also providing shelter for animals who have been located by their owners but the owners have no where to keep them currently since they have no home themselves.
When you've lost everything, your pet's loyalty and companionship is something familiar and can make a difference. this isn't just about animals. think of how much a pet can mean to a person, this is about helping people who need anything and everything.
