I'm getting some early reports that there a lot of gulf states shelters
in the possible path of "Hurricane" Gustav that are planning on
euthanizing shelter animals before the storm hits. Please, if you live
in those states or know someone who does, think about what you
can do to save a life. I know it might be tough due to circumstances
but there's just got to be a way.
Some shelters don't adopt to the public, so if you are familiar with
any rescue groups, maybe give 'em a call.
Thanks everyone.
Hurricane coming, save the shelter animals!

Hurricane coming, save the shelter animals!
Best Friends is on it! From their Facebook updates:
Hurricane Gustav
From Best Friends Animal Society
Today at 10:41am
Best Friends Animal Society reached Louisiana on Thursday, and has been working around the clock to ready the area. First we assisted other groups in moving hundreds of animals out of the New Orleans area to safety.
Then we shipped in THOUSANDS of pet crates. As residents were fleeing the area, most have been allowed to take their animals as long as they were crated. We discovered that so many did not have crates, so we shipped them in.
As soon as the immediate danger of Gustav passes, our first responders will respond to calls of animals in danger, while assessing the situation and calling for volunteers and more help as needed.
None of this life saving work is possible without you. Please take the time to follow the link below and join our Facebook cause dedicated to this and other emergency situations Best Friends works through. Please consider donating to help the animals left behind during Gustav, and of course thank you for all that you do for the animals.
