The Louisiana SPCA has evacuated twenty-five dogs that are being held pending court cases and are on their way to Baton Rouge Animal Control to ride out Hurricane Katrina. Approximately 250 animals, strays and adoptables, will be moved to the Houston SPCA this evening in two 16’ climate-controlled trucks.

This is obviously a very intense undertaking for the shelter amd the shelter itself is said to flood extremely easily and will likely sustain major damage.

Please donate whatever you can - even if only a dollar or two - to help their evacuation expenses and also the extra expenses they will have after the storm, as they will surely be inundated with misplaced, lost, and abandoned animals.

Thanks, guys!

1. done. I would drown with my babies before I would leave them. I

was thrown out of a shelter by the red cross once because I had snuck in my 21 year old dachshund. We left. They said she had to go so we all went. Fuck the red cross.

2. Thanks fresianrider...

And, please do *NOT* send bags of food or blankets or toys for animals or humans to the scene of the disaster.

The arrival of tons and tons of items sent for 'relief' is, in itself, an emergency for the crews on the ground.

Money is the best gift - so they can buy what they need.

3. Agreed :)

Since the shelter has a history of flooding, the building itself will likely need major repairs. Money to rebuild/repair or help transport the animals back and forth is always best.

Thanks again guys :)
