In S.A. they are providing free care,wash,dip,vaccinations & microchipping of animals so the proper owners will be able to re-claim their pets. San Antonio has done & will continue to a great job of aiding as many displaced people as we can. On Thursday in less than 7 hrs. a local T.V. station, and several local companies raised over $300,000.00 in cash and loaded more than 25 18 wheelers with supplies for relief I was there for 5 Hrs helping. All of Texas S.A.,Houston,Dallas & all of their surrounding communities are doing us proud. My daughter took a contingent of volunteers from te Outback Steak Houses of Houston to Mississippi to cook for the volunteers & police there. God Bless all of the Survivors better days are ahead.

Some sites have open that the owners must provide the day to day care (the temp sites even have the food) but the pets are held in at the shelter until the owners can get back home or into a new living arrangement or sign the dog over for adoption. Don't know yet for sure, yet. We have been taking in animals from Louisiana shelters . However, on the 6 o'clock news, the reporter who was talking about the refugees coming in was standing right in front of a Humane Society truck that was out at Kelly base, so my guess is that animal refuge is being provided also. The sad part is that most of the buses leaving Louisiana would take any animals and probably neither would the planes.Too, too many pets have been abandoned. Heartbreaking!
