Hurricane Katrina

On Ground To February
National ARNO (led by Jane Garrison, Pia Salk, David Meyer) continues animal aid through Jan into Feb. Our database still overflows with animal sightings. Under homes. In sewers. On ledges. They struggle on empty streets. Food sources vanished with evacuees. Yet more are hungry, with the endless litters. Some live in buildings to be bulldozed. Please open your heart to animals.
