Help animals in the storm area!

I have already made my donation to the Red Cross for the PEOPLE who are in distress but when I saw footage of stranded dogs and cats on Countdown I had to make an additional donation for the critters. The woman who Keith interviewed has a great organization, Noah's Wish: www.noahswish.org.

They also have a call for volunteers out on their home page as well as a long list of stuff they could use, or you can send cash:

They also need:

►► Airline Tickets or Mileage Donated

One of our biggest expenses during disasters is the airfare to get key members of our Disaster Response Team to the disaster site quickly.

►► Animal Care Equipment and Services Gift Certificates

This is the company we order all of our rescue equipment from.
