10/21 PLEASE COME TO NEW ORLEANS TO HELP THE TRULY FORGOTTEN
10/21 12:58PM PST We rescued a dog last night who was put out with the trash from her house! Reportedly, the people came home to clean out their house and the dog was in critical condition...skin and bones, could not stand, sores all over her
body, etc.. They put her out on the sidewalk with the trash! Thankfully a neighbor saw the whole thing and called us. Needless to say we have the media at the vet clinic right now and we will pursue cruelty charges. -- Jane [Garrison]

ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICERS:
We need you—due to the deteriorating condition of animals. If we do not have
your phone number, please respond ASAP to discuss your availability.
EVERYONE:
We need you too! Under HSUS, Jane led 85 teams of two throughout N.O. to
feed/water roaming animals. Without this many people, the animals have
visibly deteriorated. IF ANY OF YOU ARE ABLE TO FINANCE THE TRIP OR GET AN
ORGANIZATION TO SPONSOR YOU—PLEASE COME TO N.O. AS SOON AS YOU CAN.
Please tell us your arrival date and length of stay so we have an idea of
volunteers on the ground.
ANIMAL RESCUE NEW ORLEANS
Jane Garrison & David Meyer
FINAL DAYS FOR N.O. ANIMALS: YOU CAN HELP THEM!
Recently, a dog was found confined in a laundry room. He was emaciated, but
able to recover. The other day, volunteers saved two cats from a house and
another hiding in an attic. They were dazed and dehydrated, but alive. On
10/19, rescuers discovered Bingo, a dog so desperate for water he’d crawled
into a bathtub. Too weak to haul his little body out, the tub almost became
Bingo’s coffin. He could not lift his head or stand. But he is alive and now
under veterinary care. Bingo and others like him want to live. Please let
their tremendous will inspire you to travel to New Orleans as soon as you can.
