> We have a wonderful group doing great work here. The Emergency Animal Resue Service (EARS) I cannot say enough about how wonderful EARS is! I just returned home from the Monroe shelter working with this group. They are organized, mobilized, and ready for anything. People come from all over to volunteer with this group. They even have veterinary care. This is a good time for everyone to think about disaster planning in your own area. Do you know how or if your city/town would care for animals in a disaster emergency? Who is in charge? Believe me, you need somebody in charge. You need organization. We are dealing with massive numbers of animals and people from New Orleans and the surrounding area. They are everywhere, but certainly concentrated within the state of Louisiana.
