We can?t rescue any more animals because we have nowhere to bring them.
They?re under homes. Lingering in yards. Starving in the streets. There are
still hundreds, if not thousands, of animals in New Orleans.
Animal Rescue New Orleans with Jane Garrison, David Meyer, Pia Salk and a
dedicated team of organizers has stepped in to rescue, trap, and feed
Katrina?s forgotten.
We?ve coordinated teams of ACOs, humane agents and trappers,
veterinarians/techs. They?re in New Orleans now, with more on the way.
We?ve been transporting rescued animals to Best Friends in Tylertown, MS
everyday. But their facility is full! Best Friends and Animal Rescue New
Orleans are working over time to secure qualified foster organizations.
If you are a foster organization, or know one, please help us so we can
rescue more animals in New Orleans.

* Will upload each animal?s identity info/photo on petfinder.com and track them.
* Agree to hold Katrina animals in foster for a minimum of 3 months.
