From http://www.vetmed.lsu.edu
Confined Pets in Need of Rescue from Disaster Areas
Residents who left pets in their homes may call toll-free [phone] between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm or e-mail [e-mail] to leave information about the number of animals that need rescuing ,their species, and their confined location.

Residents are now being allowed back into certain parts of the Greater New Orleans areas. While we will do everything we can to rescue as many animals as possible, your pets will have a better chance if you can get in and rescue them yourselves. Please watch the news media for announcements of which areas residents may re-enter.

If you do rescue your pet yourself after requesting rescue through this shelter, please notify us so that we can remove your name from the waiting list.

If you need a place to leave your pets for housing and care after rescue, please bring them to us at the John M. Parker Coliseum on the LSU Campus. We will care for them until you can be permanently reunited.


LINKS FOR MONETARY DONATIONS
Most of these links also have updates on rescue efforts and instructions on how to donate supplies.

Note: Some of you may have seen a message about an urgent need for animal foster care, with instructions to contact Lynda V at 203 515 3024 (cell) or 203 227 5308 (home) or email her at [e-mail] . Her email box may be full, so your email message may get bounced back. When I called her home number, there was a recording saying that they could not take information over the phone. Anyone willing to adopt or foster a pet should go to http://www.carams.org and fill out an application. Do not call carams.org -- they have their hands full right now, and need to keep their telephone lines open for emergencies.

PLEASE ADD OR UPDATE INFORMATION
