| Urgent Please Read:hurricane Pet Survivors This was faxed to me yesterday from the lady that runs are local animal shelterl. PLEASE ANNOUNCE: HELP WITH THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE NEEDED TO HELP THE THOUSANDS OF ANIMALS IN NEED IN THE LOUISIANA, MISSISSIPPI AND ALABAMA. HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES, SPCA AND OTHER NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS ARE ON THEIR WAY TO HELP THESE ANIMALS. THEY HAVE CONTACTED ME (DARLEEN WHEELINGTON) TO HELP SUPPLY AS MANY OF THESE ITEMS AS POSSIBLE, SO PETS CAN BE CARED FOR UNTIL THEY CAN BE RETURNED TO THEIR OWNERS. ITEMS NEEDED: DOG CRATES LEASHES COLLARS BEDDING-SHEETS & TOWELS DOG BOWLS KIDDY SWIMMING POOLS LITTER PANS MAJOR DOG FOOD COMPANIES ARE SUPPLYING THE FOOD NEEDED AT THIS TIME. VOLUNTEERS TO TRANSPORT THE ITEMS ARE NEEDED AS WELL. I would assume if you have any of these items you can contact your local shelter or local rescue groups and they can get the items to the places that they are needed or direct you as to where they need to go. In situations like this it is easy to forget the thousand of animals that are left without shelter and food. Please if you have any of these items, donate them and help these poor animals out.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Thank you for posting that - We're taking some things we don't use to our local store today - My sons ex girlfriend works at Petco and I'm taking the items to her to donate - I think this is a great way to help put the word out for those poor people and needy pets in LA. what a terrible storm and I feel so sorry for all the people flooded out of their homes and especially those who lost their lives - who knows how many animals have died or will die from illness and the aftermath - It makes us really appreciate what WE have - and how fast we could lose it |

| If you want to donate online, here are some websites that are taking donations to help the hurricane affected animals: http://www.noahswish.org/ http://www.uan.org/news/082805.html http://www.americanhumane.org/site/PageServer http://www.petfinder.com/ http://www.nsalamerica.org/ar/index.html https://secure.hsus.org/01/disaster_relief_fund_2005? Some of those sites are direct links to the donation page, some are just the homepages of the organizations.

| bump...i cant imagine how devistated i would feel in those people's situations, but even one persons kindness makes a difference. Maybe we could pull YT together as a whole and donate some of our not so used animal items on behalf? |
