HS Louisiana rescues need placement

These gorgeous hurricane rescues still need placement : cats, dogs, lots of Pitties. - HSLA can transport as needed.

Pet List: http://www.petfinder.org/pet.cgi?action=1&pet.Shelterid=LA17

The Humane Society of Louisiana's hurricane rescue center, Camp Katrina, is in the process of being converted into an all-breed sanctuary with a particular focus on hard-to-place Pit Bulls. They currently have a large number of animals dogs there, many of which are absolutely lovely and adoptable. Unfortunately, their location in rural Mississippi makes it difficult to find homes for them all. We would like to get some of them moved out so that they will have a better chance of finding loving homes and so that the long-term residents can receive more one-on-one care and attention.

If you feel so compelled, we would very much appreciate your taking a look at their pet list to see if you might have room for any of these wonderful animals who need and deserve to be in a loving homes. Some of the animals listed here will require special care and/or behavioral training, while others are highly adoptable. Elizabeth Campbell, who knows all of these animals very well, has written excellent and honest descriptions of each one.

Since we went through EDNAH with some of our dogs, we will ask rescues to be patient with our screening process.

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or suggestions.

Thanks, as always!!!

There have also been several large transports lately where out of state rescuers took many Roicy animals. They have incurred HUGE bills and really need financial support so that they can see to the medical needs for all these animals, get them placed, and make return trips.

Kris Rieck, Twisted Whisker Rescue <rieck44 @yahoo .com> Kris took in 30 plus cats from south LA through Muttshack and she has given them the very best medical care available. Howard, the Roicy black cat nobody looked at twice even received a stomach tube. Kris has devoted herself to their care for weeks.

Dana Deutsch in conjunction with Operation Bring Animals Home pulled 16 animals from Roicy two weeks ago and drove here from Chicago to get them. <danakay2 @aol .com>

Larry Rubin pulled 24 animals last week from south LA, including 16 from Roicy. <rubinmlr @yahoo .com>

PLEASE SUPPORT THOSE WHO SUPPORT ROICY! IF YOU ARE OUT OF STATE AND WANT TO SAVE ROICY ANIMALS, PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING TO ONE OF THESE GREAT GROUPS. IF YOU HAVE PLEDGED A DONATION, PLEASE FOLLOW THROUGH....THESE RESCUERS PULLED COUNTING ON YOU!

Ursuline Academy Girls Let The Cat (Food) Out of the Bag! http://network.bestfriends.org/hurricane/news/2014.html

March 9, 2006

Fifty sixth-graders from Ursuline Academy in New Orleans did their part for the animal rescue effort.

The children opened sixty-four thousand tiny bags of cat food donated to Animal Rescue New Orleans (ARNO) to help feed rescued animals from Hurricane Katrina.

Ursuline responded quicker than a cat: The students appeared at ARNO's warehouse in Elmwood on Tuesday, March 7, and worked from 9 am until 2 pm to get the chore done!

ARNO, a volunteer organization, collects donated pet food from all over the country to aid in the daunting task of rescuing pets from the devastated areas left by Hurricane Katrina. Cats and dogs in uninhabited areas are fed until they can be trapped, treated for any medical ailments, spayed and neutered.

The LA/SPCA in Orleans Parish is assisting ARNO by giving them space to keep these animals for possible reunions with their people, and servicing the pets by placing their pictures and descriptions on PetHarbor.com. Both organizations are committed to helping these animals before they procreate and add to the stray animal population.

Recently, ARNO joined forces with the Housing Authority of New Orleans (HANO) to humanely sweep federal housing developments of all animals who could be living inside deserted units. ARNO is also augmenting the LA/SPCA efforts with trap/sweep operations at specific properties in Orleans Parish where demolition is scheduled. They invite all citizens who want to volunteer for either organization to call and give a few hours a week.

ARNO rescue coordinator Robin Beaulieu states, "It's a big lift to all of us when new volunteers are scheduled, whether they are local or from out of town. It makes you realize that lots of people still care, including these Ursuline students, about the animals that have been left homeless and hungry after Katrina."

Ursuline Academy's president, Gretchen Zibilich Kane, said her students are happy to help. "Our students are always enthusiastic and eager to serve the community," she said, "following a principle set forth by the foundress of the Ursuline Order: 'You have more need to serve others than they have to be served.'" Ursuline Academy reopened after the hurricane on January 9.

ARNO, which is funded entirely through donations, is an organization created for and dedicated to the rescue and aid of abandoned and homeless animals in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
