Other Katrina Pet Rescue Orginizations  and Opportunities

There are still other orginizations working for the animals affected by this disaster some are providing financial support to the continuing efforts, others are looking for both volunteers and donations. All I am glad to say are doing an outstanding job and are well worth the investment.

Best Friends Animal Society  -  Offering shelter and sanctuary for those pets still being rescued. Has been an blessing both for the pets rescued and those doing the rescuing. They need both financial support and volunteers in the effort. Looking to foster, here is a good place to look.

1-800-save-a-pet.com - Online pet adoption service that has been very instrumental in keeping the rescue effort alive and providing operational guidance, volunteer recruitment and financial support. Looking to adopt a pet, look here. every little bit helps

Pasado Safe Haven  -  Instrumental in the protection of the Disaster animals from being euthanized. Also currently working in Louisiana to prosecute those responsible for the St. Bernard dog massacre. They have also worked with the animal rescue and shelter efforts and proved to be a valuable friend to the animals.
