Animals caught in California fires & Morehead, KY pound flood
IN THIS DISASTER WATCH:
SEPTEMBER 27, 2006
Officials Won’t Let Woman Evacuate From California Fires With Her Animals
SOURCE: Jane Garrison janegarrison@comcast.net
9/27/06, REPLY TO: Jane Garrison janegarrison@comcast.net — Can someone help? I got a frantic call from a woman’s daughter in Lockwood Valley, CA (Ventura/Los Angeles area). There are horrible fires underway and the woman left her house yesterday morning to take one of her cats to the vet (who subsequently had to be put down). When she returned home the fire department blocked her from entry and won’t let her retrieve 4 cats and 3 dogs trapped inside. One dog is insulin dependent. She must evacuate them. Officials refuse to let her in, even though her house is not in immediate danger. If she cannot rescue her animals, they will die from starvation/dehydration or eventual smoke inahalation and flames.
IF YOU HAVE ANY CONTACTS IN THAT AREA, OR IDEAS, REPLY IMMEDIATELY: Jane Garrison, JaneGarrison@comcast.net

Funds Needed To Move Dogs From Flooded KY Pound
SOURCE: Liz Marshall lizardmarsh@gmail.com
9/24/06, REPLY TO: Julia Sharp juliatat@yahoo.com — "We need funds for gas and van transport of dogs to Chicago rescue. It’s been rough. The dogs move back (to the soggy pound) in the morning, but in response to some rescue offers we hope to get as many out as possible. To do this, we must raise rund to rent a cago van. We are fortunate to decent dog warden in Morehead. Many Kentucky wardens would have left animals to drown. Our warden, Jimmy Hale, was at the pound early this morning to bleach and scrub it down…"

Update: Rowan County Pound Flood In Morehead, KY
SOURCE: http://dogpoundky.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=90
9/24/06, REPLY TO: Jan D., 606-462-0375 — "By the time we left, it was poured out the front door, with at least a foot high inside the pound. We stacked file cabinets, refrigerator, etc. on top of the desk. We were concerned about getting out of there before the road was closed. Dogs were safely evacuated to the Rowan Vet Clinic, an old forestry building on Hwy. 519, and my barn/house. Jimmy Hale (dog warden) noted that flooding will finish off the foundation and cracks in walls, as the pound was in bad shape to begin with. I’ll keep you posted on what will happen in the next couple days. Thanks, Jan."
