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.

5. FYI: affiliation

In case anyone is wondering about the affiliation of this person, it's Louisiana State Univ. Vet school.

From http://www.txdemocrats.org/getinvolved/katrina/index.php

Louisiana State University Veterinary School is looking for homes for dogs and cats who have been left behind by Katrina. Transportation is ready, they simply need room for them: kennels, boarding, vet offices, shelters, foster homes and rescuers. All have been vaccinated and are in relatively good health. There are all different varieties with some coming in groups of 2-4 from the same home. The school is being inundated with animals, and many will have to be euthanized if they are not moved soon. As has been noted, the animals will be transported to you. They are also taking donations of food, bedding, water or money to help cover their operation. Please call Lynda V. at: 203 515 3024 (cell) or 203 227 5308 (home) or email her at [e-mail].

2. We learned from the master

If the 'republican revolution' and the Bush administration have taught us anything, it is that you hit people when they are down, politicize the hell out of their misfortunes, always keep up the pressure while staying on message and ALWAYS go for the direct kill. Bush should be proud that his students are doing so well.

My email got bounced back because her mailbox is full.

I just called the number and they are not taking phone adoption offiers.

Instead go to

and fill out an application.
