Monetary Donations for Grassroots Gulf Coast Animal Rescue Efforts - PLEASE HELP

by Kate Danaher (katedanaher [at] animalearthhuman.org)
If you or someone you know can’t go to the Gulf Coast to assist with animal rescue on the ground but wants to make a monetary donation please select from any of the AMAZING groups below...They NEED your help!!
Hopeful Haven Equine Rescue
P.O. Box 17763; Shreveport, LA 71138
Online: http://www.hopefulhaven.com/webscr.htm
*I call her “General Debra.” Debra Barlow and her equine convoys have been
rescuing, delivering hay, feed, meds throughout Katrina and Rita. With zero
help from FEMA or any government agency, they have been the main presence on the
ground for large-animal rescue. Unbelievable stories about encountering
watery graves with floating cows, stranded horses, nursing a calf born the
day Katrina struck... I refer all my “horse people” type volunteers to this
effort. They are amazing! Probably delivered more hay and range pellets than
any Dept. of Agriculture has ever done.

David Meyer, founder of 1-800-Save-A-Pet.com, has been working with Jane
Garrison to continue search and rescue since HSUS left. Jane set up a
feeding station program throughout New Orleans and has been a front line
rescuer with HSUS, before this independent effort. On Monday, David arranged
to have all remaining animals at Lamar-Dixon airlifted (for foster) to
California...

GRASSROOTS EFFORT
FOR ANIMALS OF THE STORM
Two 501c3 nonprofit organizations formed an alliance in response to
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, sending veterinarians, vet techs, transporters,
trained animal disaster relief workers, shelter/foster agencies and other
volunteers to stricken communities in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and
Texas.

ARF/Kinship Circle also manage a drop/distribution site for animal supplies.
We store and circulate items such as food, hay, cages/crates, veterinary
medicines, equipment, and much more.

The Kinship Circle/ARF effort helps coordinate independent rescue missions.

rescue has already been established... Please visit our websites to learn
