| Contacting our vets?? I am on an email list about clicker training. This was on one today. I apologize for putting this on these lists, but it is the only way that I know of to quicky spread the word. I just got off the phone with Allysia (owner at Lucky Stars Kennel where I work in MD) and she was deployed from Louisiana State University to Lamar-Dixon Expo Center _www.lamardixonexpocenter.com_-- she said EVERY area of that huge complex there is overflowing with all sorts of animals and hardly any volunteers. They are in very very desperate need of volunteers -- also, veterinary disinfectant, iv fluids, sanitation supplies, etc ... animals are coming in and they are worse and worse from being out there so long, much sicker. They only apparently have a handful of volunteers at Lamar Dixon, and they have horses, goats, sheep, all kinds of animals, 1000 + dogs and cats -- limited veterinarians, medication -- She wants to know if the word can be sent out any way possible - WITHOUT NEGATIVITY towards what is being done, because a lot IS being done -- but its still not enough (understandably). Please contact your vets and see if they can help with time/supplies. If you are local - , please find time to go. If you know someone who lives closer, please urge them to help. THANK YOU SO MUCH for anything you can do to help get this word out, we are expecting 20 some dogs to come in this weekend from Katrina. Terry Maryland

| She just sent another email. First, Thank you to everyone who is helping in this rescue effort. I just received a phone call from Allysia. They are in dire need of help. They are out of crates and they are still bringing dogs in. There are pittbulls in with bichons in horse trailers, they are starving - dehydrated. There is no food, no water -- nothing to give these animals food or water in, let alone more help to do it. There is hardly any help - hardly any veterinarians. If you can go, please go. The humane society feels there is not enough help because people didn't fax in their paperwork. You can find it at _www.hsus.org_ (http://www.hsus.org) - you do not have to fax it back, you can take it with you and they will let you in. They are begging for help at Lamar-Dixon where there is literally thousands of animals in need, thousands. They also have forms there that you can fill in. Allysia is at Lamar-Dixon, in Gonzales - if anyone is out there and can physically help or deliver meds and supplies, PLEASE - the desperation in her voice was just horrible. If anyone is asking, donations can be sent to: LA SPCA Lamar-Dixon Expo (impressive place _www.lamardixonexpocenter.com_ (http://www.lamardixonexpocenter.com/) ) 9039 St. Landry Road Gonzalez, LA 70737 or even us Lucky Stars Kennel 2818 Hampstead-Mexico Road Hampstead, MD 21074 Be sure to put HURRICANE KATRINA RESCUE in the memo line.
