2. I believe they are being blocked from NO

that is the most desperate situation for animals right now. Stuck on roofs, homes and up in trees. The Feds won't let them in.

Gaithersburg, Md. Call CenterIs Tracking Reports of Lost Pets; More Than $3.5 Million in Donations for Animal Rescue/Relief Has Poured In

JACKSON, Miss. and WASHINGTON – Late last night, rescuers with The Humane Society of the United States, working with The Humane Society of South Mississippi, picked up 42 cats and 89 dogs in Gulfport, Miss. and drove them to a staging area Jackson, Miss. There they are providing triage medical care and temporary shelter for the animals before arranging to transfer them to animal shelters around the country.

“We were finally allowed to enter hurricane-ravaged Gulfport last night,” said Wayne Pacelle, HSUS president and CEO, “where one of our rapid response strike teams was able to rescue a large group of animals. Another highly-trained HSUS animal disaster team is based in Louisiana, and is poised to enter New Orleans as soon as access is allowed. We believe it is imperative that we get into that devastated region as soon as possible to increase the chances that we can evacuate the thousands of animals who remain in dire circumstances.”
