PEOPLE WITH PETS WHO ARE CURRENTLY EVACUATING NEW ORLEANS
The LA/SPCA will transport animals from pick-up points in New Orleans
to the Lamar-Dixon Expo Center. The pick-up points have not yet been
determined and are being coordinated with the agency charged with
transporting people from New Orleans to other areas.
The Lamar-Dixon Expo Center, 9039 St. Landry Rd., Gonzales, LA., will
serve as the primary staging area. Once the shelter is full, animals
will be moved to temporary shelters in other areas of Louisiana and Texas.
The LA/SPCA Dorothy Dorsett Brown Mobile Veterinary Center will be at
the Lamar-Dixon Center to treat incoming animals as needed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CONFINED PETS STILL IN DISASTER AREA
Beginning on September 1, residents who left pets in their homes may
call a hot line to leave information about the number of animals,
species, and their confined location. As soon as the hotline number is
obtained, we will advise the media.
WE CANNOT ENTER THE NEW ORLEANS METROPOLITAN AREA UNTIL APPROVAL IS
GRANTED FROM STATE OFFICIALS.
