Help needed for pets and humans of Hurricane Gustav

Please Cross Post

IF animals need your help, after the storm hits, would you be willing to help?

The help would be for animals needing a place to stay while their owners are waiting to go home, OR This could be for sheltered animals needing placement.

Prefer to have with Verifiable references, must have a vet reference as well.

Also prefer that rescues are located near the state lines near Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia, and Florida.
Can also be no kill shelters.

IF you are able to help, please send your rescue name, location, contact numbers and what you are able to help with to: resquedk9@yahoo. com

IF you re not contacted, then your help is not needed. And we wish to thank each and everyone for any help offered!!!!!
This information is strictly confidential and will not be forwarded to any lists.

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.

Mass killings to start in Brevard Melbourne SACC Shelter today.....PLEASE HELP

I received this email this morning....please help!!

Because of the State of Emergency declared by both the State of Florida and the federal government on behalf of the State of Florida, new laws put into place since Hurricane Katrina dictate that all animals taken in by government-operated shelters be held for 90 days to giver owners time to find and claim their pets.



This means that the animals that are there now and are available for adoption are being pulled TODAY to be euthanized to make room for all the animals they will have to hold for 90 days.



There is a solution to this that does not require mass euthanization ... YOUR BREVARD COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CAN CALL FOR AN EMERGENCY MEETING TO FORCE OUR BREVARD COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES AND ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT TO FIND IMMEDIATE TEMPORARY HOUSING TO BE RENTED TO HOLD THE NEW ANIMALS COMING IN NOW SO PEOPLE CAN FIND AND RECLAIM THEIR ANIMALS.



As usual, nobody in our County government seems to be able to think outside the box to do something creative to save lives. CALL YOUR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND CRAIG ENGLESON OF BREVARD COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES AND ENFORCEMENT RIGHT NOW AND ASK THEM TO FIND TEMPORARY SHELTERS TO HOLD THE ANIMALS FOR 90 DAYS SO THOSE THAT ARE AT THE SHELTER NOW DO NOT HAVE TO BE EUTHANIZED !!!!!!!!!

Please help me find our beautiful female dog named Freckles. She is a JRT/Rat Terrier/Whippet mix with one blue eye & one brown eye. She is white with reddish brown spots on her coat & she is wearing her red collar with her red heart shaped rabies tag. Her name is Freckles & she is a little timid of new people but will come to her name when called.

She has had a hard life & needs to be found, if you find her please call 704-503-5886 or email manning82@bellsouth .net.

She is a rescue dog & we need help finding her~

I live in the University Side of town Near Prosperity Church Road & Eastfield Road. I have our neighborhood watch looking as well as they are going to send out a neighborhood email listing ehr description & name to help find her with a picture of her. We have 300 houses, so I am praying she chased a rabbit & someone nice picked her up to care for her.

I am attaching new pictures that we took of her this week. She has been doing really well, put on weight, walking nicer on her leash & only pee-d on me once this week in her nervousness to get to her leash to go outside. As many of you know, I have Sean, my special needs son, & as he was trying to come outside with my husband to go outside...freckles pushed thru & took off after a baby rabbit. She is very fast & unfortunately for us, she did not come back when we called her & searched for her in the woods, etc. I have contacted Animal Control after running into an Officer in the neighborhood, but he was there for pits. He had no calls for her & said to keep checking the website. I have also sent out a plea thru Craigslist & no response but it hasn't been posted but 2 hours or so. We waited outside last night for her until 11:30 pm & up again at 6:00 am to look for her. She ALWAYS comes back & I am really worried. Please post widely for her, she has had such a hard life & she is a bit skiddish, but she knows where she lives so please post & lets find her. She had a home visit this weekend to go be with another JRT male & that just kills me to know I have to call & say I lost her!!

I am so sorry, please help Freckles find her way home~
