I apologize if this has already been posted..... just received this from a dog rescue list: Help for pets in New Orleans.... Cross-posted - please share! Please just let all members know that we have opened a pet shelter at Blackham Coliseum in Lafayette, right next to the Cajundome. Evacuees may bring their pets their for housing. We havePLENTY of food, water, crates, cages, bedding and newspaper. BUT the owners are responsible for feeding, watering, walking and medicating their own pets. Interested parties may call Lafayette Parish Animal Control at: 337-291-5644 for more information. Also many area vets are accepting animals right now, until they fill up. Get the Yellow Pages out! Please help me to get this word out. I've been working non-stop! THANKS! Nancy Marcantel ARF of LA. GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG BREED BETTERMENT REGISTRY The only way to understand & estimate the nature of the dog is to study his whole development. Such a task requires a sympathetic, dog-loving observer, who tries as far as possible to enter into the innermost mind of the dog, and who will know how to short-circuit all his purely human points of view. --Max von Stephanitz Whoever will only draw conclusions from the eminence of his own particular point of view, will obtain a distorted picture. --Max von Stephanitz --------------------------------- Find your next car at Yahoo!
