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.

Please contact at any time, day or night. These volunteers, rescuers and shelter workers are working around the clock.
This is a reply that someone got from Lynda's daughter:
Thank you for your response to our email. THERE IS NO NEED TO CALL US.
Please submit the following information; Your name, your telephone number, your
city, your state and a veterinarian reference. We are compiling a master list so we
can start placing animals from a shelter in Jackson. Right now there are 240 dogs,
and 100 cats that need GOOD HOMES. As you can imagine, there are going to be many
more.
If you cant adopt, and would like to help out with a monetary donation, you
can do so by sending a check or money order directly to the shelter in Jackson
or calling the animal disaster relief hotline. Here is that information:
The shelter we are working thru:
C.A.R.A. Inc. (Community Animal Rescue Adoption)
Post Office Box 231
Clinton, MS 39060
they are a 501 C3
This was JUST set up ....
The Mississippi Disaster Relief Fund
209 South Lafayette
Starkville, MS 39759
(662) 324-9380
OK, now to give you all some information as to what is what. Understandably
so, its people first down there. Now, about our furry loved ones in MS. The
animals we are dealing with are Owner Turn Overs?, these pets have been turned over
to the shelter by their owners and need good homes. We are working with a
transport company that is currently down in MS trying to get our fist load of dogs. Just so
you know what we know. There are groups of animal disaster relief workers down in
the disaster area, they are doing everything they can to get these animals processed.
There is a RUMOR, A COMPLETE LIE going around that people are shooting animals.
WRONG!
There are some severely injured animals that have to be humanely euthanized,
but the first priority of these trained people is to help and save these
animals. They are doing their best, and they are doing a great job. There are still some
areas the animal rescue people have not been able to get to- as people are still
being rescued from those areas. They are setting up animal treasonous, and they
are working around the clock. Please keep those people in your prayers. I know that
there are stationing areas set up at two sights, one of which is in Jackson.
PLEASE DO NOT GO DOWN TO MISSISSIPPI. (You will be in the way, let the trained
professionals do their job)
We don't know when, but here is what is going to happen with the dogs, cats,
bunnies, etc. that come thru the shelters we are working with: We have a detailed
list of the animals they have, we will match the list of animals to the list of
perspective adoptive parents. You will then receive a call from the transporter and can
discuss with her at that time where in your state she will be bringing the animals.
This is all done with volunteers, so go easy on us, we (me and my mother
Lynda)
are doing our very best.
Thank you for your support, and God Bless you.
