Subject: Re: [PMRehabilitation] New Orleans.... to be evacuated... breaking news.

New Orleans is being evacuated as we speak, the people are being put on buses and trains for all those who have no menas of getting out otherwise.
The animals are also being shipped out too, IF anyone can help a resident by allowing them to camp out on your lawn, or in a barn, please let me know.
Anyone form northern parts of Ala, La, Georgia, or southern states of Tenn, Indianna, willing to allow anyone shelter from the storm, let me know.
I have rescues who need help, they can get out but no where to go.

Not all pets are listed on site, so it's best to pay us a visit on Eau Galle Blvd. (just past the flea market on the right)

Here are a few of the faces we are trying desperately to save.

Jack Russell Terrier  (Dakota)

Meet Dakota, 8+yrs, male(int).  Man dropped off said he just found him....later find out he is the actual owner, possible breeder, although this boy looks like mix.  Also was told that wouldn't recommend small children & that there were other dogs he lived with.  He hasn't done anything wrong at the shelter, just doesn't pay much attention to folks taking him out...interested in everything else.  Needs dental.

South Animal Care Center 321-253-6608

Mastiff/Lab mix  (Margo)

OK HERE IS ANOTHER GIRL, MASTIFF, OR MASTIFF/LAB GIRL NEEDS RESCUE BEFORE TO LATE
GIVE SAME INFO AS CONTACT AS WELL JYNNI OR KIM ,WE ARE RESCUE FRIENDLY
TRANSPORT HELP OFFERED ON THIS GIRL!!!!!!!!

She's big girl, approx 4yrs, stray, recently spayed.  When she is out of her kennel, she's very happy, friendly- nice girl.  She gets growly in kennel- we think it's the chaos around her- definitely no small children.  We did have her available for couple weeks with folks taking her out, with a family wanting to adopt her but before they took her home, their toddler went near her upon pick up & she snapped at her (she was still recovering from spay earlier).  She will not be placed back up...can anyone help...think she has potential of being a sweet girl.  Has some thinning hair but no skin condition...just needs good food.

Puppy Mill Pooches Find Happiness in Their New Homes September 14, 2007 Emilie M. Bottiggi Pooches and their parents reunite on the one-year anniversary of a puppy mill raid. Bright-eyed, clean and groomed, dozens of pampered dogs gathered with their proud parents one chilly afternoon. At first glance it looks like the group might be members a Maltese club or participants in a dog show. But this gathering is actually a reunion—the one-year anniversary of the dogs' rescue from a cramped and squalid puppy mill in Tennessee. Learning to be Loved It's hard to believe that these well-groomed dogs (and one cat!) with their designer collars and bows have not always lived pampered lives. But when Winnie was rescued, she did not know how to walk in a straight line because she had spent her entire life in a cage, where she could only hobble in circles. Pogo had to be taught how to use the stairs, because he had never lived in a home before. And Stewie had to learn how to stand on solid surfaces because his paws had never rested on anything but the bottom of a bare wire cage. Special Caretakers "We knew our babies had unique needs due to the special circumstances into which they were born," says Emilie Bottiggi, who adopted three of the rescued dogs. "We were seeing behaviors we had not seen before with our non-puppy mill dogs." Helpful Links Buying a puppy? Check out www.puppybuyersguide.org. Want to adopt? Visit www.proud2adopt.org. Learn more about puppy mills, and join our campaign against cruelty at www.stoppuppymills.org. The adopters created an email group to stay in touch and share their successes. A year to the day after their "babies" were rescued, they gathered to celebrate the anniversary of their pets' freedom. It was the first and largest of several reunions that have taken place since the day of the raid. Remembering the Rescue It all began in January 2004, when more than 230 animals were removed from a puppy mill in Franklin, Tenn. The animals were mostly Maltese dogs, but there were also a few Yorkshire Terriers, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, West Highland Terriers, and 14 Ragdoll cats living in the terrible conditions. Like most such operations, the puppy mill owner advertised in dog fanciers' publications and on the Internet, posing as a small, responsible breeder. She had been operating for many years, and at one time she enjoyed a good reputation. But when authorities entered her home after receiving a tip about animal neglect, they found that behind the pretty photos on the owner's website lurked a completely different reality. Ugly Reality Inside the house, dirty and matted dogs cowered in small wire cages—three or four dogs to a cage. Their cages were lined up row after row and stacked on top of one another. Many of the dogs were ill, and some of them died shortly after the rescue. The dogs had lived in these cramped dirty cages all their lives. Emilie M. Bottiggi Pogo was rescued from a miserable life at the puppy mill. Like most puppy mills, the breeder hid the cruel reality of her business behind closed doors. Her puppies were cleaned up and made presentable before being sold via classified ads and the Internet. But their mothers and fathers never had the chance to escape the brutal conditions into which they'd been born. Buyer Beware Even after her conviction for animal cruelty in 2005, the puppy mill owner violated the terms of her probation by continuing to breed and sell dogs. Healthcare workers who had been in her home to care for a relative testified that she was still selling puppies over the Internet. "This is just one example of why you should never buy a puppy over the Internet," says HSUS Director of Outreach, Stephanie Shain. "You should not buy a pet without personally visiting the home where he or she was born and raised." For more guidelines on how to purchase a dog without supporting puppy mills, visit www.puppybuyersguide.org. An even better option is to adopt a rescued pet and transform a life. The happy faces at the reunion alone can attest to the joy adoption can bring to both rescued and rescuers alike. To learn more about adoption, visit www.proud2adopt.org.
