Is there an address where we could send a donation if we are unable to
actually go down there and volunteer?

This forward is an E-mail from the President of the Cedar
Rapids Kennel Association. (IOWA) He says that the devastation is not to be
believed. . He contacted AKC's Disaster Response Team and he is overwhelmed
by
all AKC is doing. HOORAY for them!! If anyone is in the area and can
help, call the numbers
in the E-mail.

Permission to cross post as needed....
I just got off the phone with Mark Schearer, head of the IOWA VETERINARY
RAPID RESPONSE TEAM [(515) 281-5798].
He indicated that they have been working with the AKC Disaster Relief
Dept(Lisa Peterson). I believe he said that the AKC would be sending them
SEVERAL HUNDRED crates and kennels to assist with the pet shelters in the
Cedar Rapids area. Truly amazing! He couldnt say enough good things
about the AKC!!!!
But, that doesnt mean everything is done. They are going to be in dire
need of volunteers to help with the Linn County animals that are pouring
into the Kirkwood Equine Ceneter in Cedar Rapids. Projections indicate
that
there will be OVER 800 located at that site...and my guess would be that
the latest round of storms may push it up to 1000.
With the Cedar Rapids Shelter being a total loss...Kirkwood will
serve for the next several months as a base of operations.
If you would like to volunteer to help, please call the Operations Center
in Des Moines. 515-323-4267
The Des Moines Disaster team is coordinating the volunteer effort so that
the folks at the Kirkwood can focus on the dozens of cats, dogs, horses,
etc that are coming in EVERY HOUR! Its a rate of 25 per hour...
I did not get the Johnson County information as he was called away to an
emergency briefing to discuss the violent storms that are heading our way
tonight. I'll forward that as I get it.
Once again, volunteers are needed at the Kirkwood Community College Equine
center...call 515-323-4267 to help. It is critical that when you signin
at Kirkwood, that you sign in as IVRRT. That way you are covered as a
"temp" employee of the state of Iowa for insurance purposes.
Hug your hounds, unfortunatly it is going to get worse before it gets
better. We got 4 more inches of rain today.
