Volunteers needed immediately to rescue stranded animals down south

[Dovena]

The Humane Society of the U.S.’ highly trained Disaster Animal Response Teams are in New Orleans and Mississippi coordinating a multi-state animal rescue-and-recovery effort to help the thousands of pets who have been abandoned, lost, and severely injured. However, even though they have approximately 200 people doing search-and-rescue and staffing temporary shelters, it’s not enough. They desperately need more people to help!


For all those who donated money to this effort, thank you. But, if you can travel down south for a few days, please go as soon as you possibly can. Please visit www.hsus.org to fill out the on-line volunteer form (click on “Want to volunteer” under the heading “How You Can Help”) and someone will get back to you to assist your travel.

Hi Dovena,

Thank you for posting the website and making us aware of the need for volunteers.

While many of us would love to go, we are so up to our ears in rehabbing our own birds that we cannot be available right now. I have some survivors of Hurricane Jeanne myself, and countless other pigeons that lost their homes.

I am going to be taking in more, come next year, and are working to re-design my coop for them at this time.
