This is from someone I know personally so it is a safe way to help the animals. This gal has one of my dogs and I can vouch for her that she will do as she says she will. Try to send her something that will help the animals. If everyone gave just a dollar or two it would fill her trailer to overflowing. ****************************************************************************** **************************** We all know that Hurricane Katrina has left heartache, pain, diseases and homelessness in epic proportions in the Gulf. It's horrific for those poor people - but it's also been an extremely sad situation for the animals - dogs, cats, horses, wildlife and livestock. As a pet owner, horseback rider and a person that believes strongly in these creatures that enrich our lives, I've struggled to find a way to not only help the humans, but to help the animals too. My local Sheriff's Department has asked for assistance in coordinating the purchase and delivery of supplies to veterinarians in Mississippi, who are in desperate need of help. I have offered my services next Thursday 9/15 to be a part of the Sheriff's Department Convoy. I have a two horse trailer and my truck that I would like to fill with supplies (hay, grain, dog/cat foods/crates/pet litter). I am coming to you to ask if you could please donate a $1.00 minimum to help pay for these things and to help pay for my gas out and back. I will also ask for donations from my local pet stores and hay suppliers. Please help - do it in the name of YOUR pets. If you are interested, my address is listed below. I must have all donations to me by Wednesday night 9/14. I will take the money I get, go to Pet-Smart - and load up for Thursday. P.S. If you know anyone else that may want to donate, please feel free to forward to my e-mail.
