Please help get the word out. Permission to cross post to any and
all lists granted.
Due to Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf Coast region, the Louisiana SPCA
moved all animals out of their shelter to the Houston SPCA.
Monetary donations are needed to help care for the over 260 extra
animals in Houston's shelters and to help the Louisiana SPCA respond
to the needs of the animals still in the area.
Monetary Donations are accepted via Houston SPCA site at
https://www.SPCAHouston.org
AKC's Hurricane Relief Efforts are working through the local dog
clubs and due to PAWSitive Impact Agility long standing working
relationship with the Houston Kennel Club (hosting the Reliant World
Series of Dog Shows Agility Trials) PAWSitive Impact Agility is
working with the Houston Kennel Club and AKC with Hurricane relief
for the animals affected by this disaster by:
1. Getting the word out.
2. Acting as a collection point and delivery service for local supply
donations.
Map to our agility training center can be found on our website at
http://www.pawsitiveimpact.com/
Any questions about PAWSitive Impact Agility efforts can be directed
to Penny Winegartner, at daretu@... or 281-692-9053.
In addition local area folks are being asked to take in pets of
evacuees who are unable to take their pets into shelters or hotels
with them.
The Houston Kennel Club is organizing that effort. If you are in the
Greater Houston Area and can take in any pets please send me your
contact information, the limitations on what you can accept and care
for.
Be aware that whatever animals taken in may be in poor health or
have bad temperament and there is some or great risk in doing this.
These animals will be sight unseen basically.
