Help Katrina Pets
If you are willing to foster a dog or know of someone who wants to adopt an animal displaced by Hurricane Katrina, please visit Mutt Shack, an L.A.-based safe haven for incoming displaced pets. MuttShack Animal Rescue, a volunteer-driven 501(c)3 non-profit organization, also desperately needs crates. They are imploring animal lovers to donate $50 for a crate to house and evacuate a Katrina Animal. They are also appealing for donations so that they can make the animals more comfortable with a big tent and air-conditioning. Muttshack aims to get at least 500 crates delivered if they can get enough people to spread the word to sponsor a crate!

One of the big lessons that Katrina taught us is that we must include pets in disaster planning. It doesn't need to be an either/or choice. We just need to include them in the planning, from the beginning. This will avoid many sad, sad stories.
