I have not heard anything from the New Orleans GSD Rescue but she lives on Lake Pontchartrain which is flooded and has most likely not been able to get home. *************************************************** Anyone in their area that can help would be great: Mississippi Animal Rescue League 4395 South Drive Jackson, MS 39209 Phone: 601-969-1631 MS ARL is completely full with animals. They have no electricity, phones or water at this point and are getting by on tubs and 55-gal drums that they were able to fill with water prior to the storm. They are also staffing the State Fair Grounds where they are caring for 147 animals from evacuees. They are fine for food supply at this time but have a need for animal care supplies (bowls, leashes...), water and manpower. **************************************************** North Louisiana German Shepherd Rescue Ruston, LA 71270 Phone: (318) 251 3557 Email: nlgsdrescue@xxxxxxxxx Is doing fine at this time but getting ready for dogs, asking for foster homes *********************************************************** Mid-South Shepherd Rescue, Inc. P.O. Box 649 Southaven, MS 38671 Emial: pstidmon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx They are asking for foster homes *************************************** There is a shelter in Tenn that has had a wall wash away, they need to get all animals out. Jackson Madison County Humane Society in Jackson, TN, their building was shifting and the dogs needed placing asap. Jackson Madison County Humane Society 3107 Paul Coffman Drive Jackson, TN 38301 (731) 422-5366 Email: jmc_humane_buddies@xxxxxxxxx With all of the rain last night (and much more coming this week), the building shifted again and the walls are literally falling down. 30 dogs MUST be moved today or tomorrow and the remaining ones need to be moved quickly!! PLEASE don't think this is an empty cry for help. This is a scary, scary situation and could result in mass euthanasia if we cannot get these dogs placed. There is absolutely no way all of these dogs can be housed locally! We can help with transporting if necessary. Please, please, please visit the website (above) and look at those sweet faces! They need your help now!! Spread the word to everyone you know. Please contact me directly at 731-217-6196 or mollibo@xxxxxxx if you have questions. Thank you for taking your time to read this and please do whatever you can to help even one of these sweet animals that did not ask to be put in this situation! Molli **************************************************** This is a start. Hope everyone is doing okay.
