We are deploying to LA tomorrow with supplies for Katrina animal rescue. There are still 50-100k animals that have been without food or water since Katrina that are trapped in buildings or scared on the streets. The situation is deplorable for many people's pets who still have hopes of reuniting. Rescuers are on the scene retrieving abandoned animals on a daily basis but they desperately need supplies. This is not meant to be a debate about people leaving their animals. They had to. One lady wouldn't leave without her dog so the sherriff shot her pet in front of her. Children had their pets ripped from their arms at evac centers and 2 rooms of evacuated pets were found shot yesterday. Please no judgements, just help. We will be dropping off supplies at 2 different rescues. I know it's short notice but if anyone in S Walton would like to donate supplies to assist in this effort please email or call me and I will try to pick up or have you drop off to me in Seacrest. Any help is appreciated.
