Our Prayers go out to everyone affected, from the victims, the rescue workers, the crews working to drain New Orleans, the military, volunteers in the shelters, etc...
There really are so many that we owe a big Thank You to for their response in the aftermath of this storm. Let's not forget that this isn't just about New Orleans, but the whole region.
As a result of Katrina, many families have lost everything, including their pets. In some cases they have had to give them up because of circumstances bryond their control. Still others may have had to leave their pets behind, and now have to live with not knowing.
What can we do beside the obvious of donating to organizations like the Red Cross, Salvation Army, etc.? Consider being a Foster Caregiver to a pet rescued from the storm area. If you are not in that area, you might consider sending a donation to a rescue center that is down there. Another idea might be adopting a pet from your local shelter, in honor of the pets from down south.
Below is a link to one such site that has been recommended to me. I will be listing more sites like this as I hear about them.
Till Next Time,
Kevin
