I am a member of Take The Lead. When Katrina hit here they sent money to 3 of my club members who lost everything they owned from flood waters. They sent them a check and then about 6 weeks later a representative from TTL contacted them to see how they were doing. A second check followed in the mail. Anyone having financial problems in the dog world can apply to take the lead, that does not mean they will get it but they sure can ask for help.
