Plea For Assistance Pre Gustav: St. Bernard Animal Shelter
I realize everyone is busy making plans for their safety in case Gustav does impact New Orleans….but I wanted to pass this along in case anyone is in a position to help or knows someone who is…
Dear Everyone,
With Hurricane Gustav on the way, St. Bernard Animal Shelter will be making a decision shortly on evacuation plans. To alleviate the load of animals that will need transport, I have been asked to send out this email to ask anyone who is setup to house a dog or 2 or 3…. to please step forward and help. We will need temporary housing for numerous dogs until the hurricane passes in order to ensure that they make it through this storm. The shelter will not be able to take all the dogs, so it is IMPERATIVE that there are volunteers willing and ABLE to house. Please remember that your safety and the safety of your family and your pets comes first. So please keep this in mind. If you would like to volunteer to temporarily foster, please contact one of the numbers below or reply to this email. Just housing one dog, whether big or small is a huge help to the shelter and the animals. Thank you and please take care!

How far away are you looking for pet shelter assistance? We live in Fort Worth? We have two 15 yr old cockers and a 10 yr old cat. We were looking for a hotline or blog where people that could help were available.

I am a pet lover living in a house in the country in South Carolina. I could accomodate one families pets and have appropriate facitilites to keep them indoor. Large dogs welcome. Don’t know if you need help this far away, but if you can get the pets here, they are welcome.
