13847. DESPERATE---HELP NEEDED!
by petlover2005, 9/21/05 2:02 ET
There is a urgent need for volunteers to commit for 3 day shifts in Louisiana to help starving dog and cat victims of hurricane Katrina. HSUS and other organizations need people to staff what is now the nations largest animal shelter. Which is in truth, nothing more than a makeshift Desperate Help facility with more than 2000 animals.WE ALSO NEED PEOPLE TO GO INTO THE CITY AND FEED AND RESCUE THOUSANDS OF STARVING ANIMALS. Volunteers need only report to:Lamar Dixon Command Center,9039 S.Saint Landry Rd.,Gonzales, La. ANYTIME day or night.Be prepared for a chaotic situation. Bring a tent,sleeping bag or be prepared to sleep in your car. There is also an air conditioned area with cots. People that are physically fit and will enter New Orleans must bring sturdy shoes,long pants,sun visor or hat,crow bar and a utility knife. If you can just commit to a 3 day shift you will save more animals than we can express.PLEASE COME NOW! Just do it! This request is coming from David Meyer,Executive Director 1-800-save-a-pet.com. He is Acting Feed&Rescue Commander HSUS at Lamar Dixon. PLEASE CROSS POST
