Hurricane Gustav help for Louisiana

Gustav Is On The Way Dear Friends and Supporters, Hurricane Gustav is rapidly approaching the U.S. and is expected to make landfall on the coast of Louisiana and Texas, Monday morning - even sooner than originally expected. Gustav is now rated a strong Category 3 hurricane, but expert opinions are mixed about whether the hurricane will be a Category 3 or Category 4 storm when it reaches the U.S. Here's some important information that we wanted you to know: WE'RE PREPARED FOR GUSTAV The Animal League has dispatched our emergency rescue team, with two of our 40-foot Mobile Rescue Units and multiple rescue teams scheduled to arrive in the Hurricane Zone before Gustav hits. We are working with our shelter partner, the Greater Birmingham Humane Society and many others, and will take a multi-pronged approach to our rescue efforts: First, we are prepared to set-up a triage area on one our 40-foot Mobile Rescue Units to provide temporary shelter and emergency care to animals in need. We plan to take animals from shelters in the Hurricane Zone to free up desperately needed space, so shelters and rescuers can accept even more animals displaced by Gustav (or either of the other two hurricanes that are on their way to the U.S.). The Animal League will also remain in the Hurricane Zone, continue to monitor the situation and be ready to accept added displaced animals. As with Hurricane Katrina rescue efforts, we expect to transport displaced animals out of the Hurricane Zone by mobile transport and airlift (as necessary). ANIMAL LEAGUE'S ANIMAL RESCUE INFORMATION CENTER We have launched the Animal League Rescue Information Center on our website so you, as a valued supporter, can use one source to access various types of information on Gustav and our rescue efforts, including: A Rescuer's Blog - Notes from the Field: Our Senior Vice President of Operations and our mobile units will post information to our Rescue Information Center blog - and will report in on a very timely basis to keep you continuously updated on what's happening with rescue preparation and rescued animals in the Hurricane Zone. You can visit the blog here. News Feeds & News Alerts: We'll be linking you to top news and weather sources, so you can get the latest updates on Gustav and the other hurricanes on the way. If you are not already on the list and live in the Tri-state area, please update your subscription to receive local Adoption and Rescue Alerts from us too. THREE YEARS OF ON-GOING SUPPORT SINCE KATRINA We wanted you to also know that North Shore Animal League America rescued over 1,600 cats and dogs within the days and weeks following Hurricane Katrina and Rita, via 44 ground transports and two airlifts. Over the past 3 years, our presence in the region continues to be felt through the on-going rescue of animals in the Louisiana Parishes. The Animal League has been accepting homeless animals from the region on virtually a monthly basis and maintains a partnership relationship with Companion Animal Network and the Katrina Lifeline program. As the result of last week's puppy mill rescue in West Virginia and the dispatching of our emergency rescue team for Gustav, significant costs are being incurred and we are depending so much on the generosity of supporters such as you. Please make a generous contribution today so that the Animal League can continue our mission to rescue as many displaced animals as possible. Yours truly, J. John Stevenson President, North Shore Animal League America P.S. Please spread the word to your family and friends. Knowledge is power, and we want the power to save as many lives as possible

REPOSTED and CORRECTED:
Hello everyone. My name is Adriana and I am a work at home volunteer for the South Animal Care Center here in Brevard County, Florida. Over the next few weeks and months you will see pets seeking their new forever homes, emergency breed request rescues, volunteer requests, info on what's going on at our shelter, events and so much more.

*Right now we are understaffed and can use a few more volunteers to help with various tasks as our present staff is now overwhelmed and they are all working day and night to try and save our animals. We are a County KILL shelter putting down over 10,000 pets a year and we are desperately working to change it. So please if you have a few hours a week or even 1 hour to spare in helping us, we here at SACC and the animals would certainly appreciate it. Please help us Save their Lives and become a voice for them!

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.

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.
