[RC] DFW, TEXAS -- CAN YOU HELP? - RavenIf you are in Texas and can help...please contact Lou Guyton DIRECTLY at 214-704-4868 or email at lguyton@xxxxxxxx or louguyton@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Our friend Lou Guyton (HSUS) asked us to forward this request on to you. If you can help, please reply directly to her (her email is below). If you can not help, you don't need to reply. Thanks! from Lou: ANIMALS IMPACTED FROM HURRICANE KATRINA EVACUATION NEED HELP! I have just been asked to stage an animal transfer in the DFW area with approximately 145 animals from the New Orleans shelter. New Orleans arrived in Houston this morning and they are currently sorting through the animals to establish what can be brought further inland and what must go back to New Orleans or be held in Houston. It looks as if the Louisiana folks will be bringing them here on Tuesday morning. Their entire shelter was evacuated and while a few animals went to Baton Rouge, the abundance of them (300) came to Texas as the New Orleans SPCA and the Houston SPCA have interagency agreements during hurricane events. That said, I will need commitments and assistance to place approximately 145 animals. The animals will be adoptable animals that will enter into your programs permanently. I DO NOT have a final count on species, but it looks like there are about 60 cats/kittens. The location on Tuesday will be at the HSUS Spay Neuter Clinic and Animal Wellness Center at 4830 Village Fair Drive, 75224. The time HAS NOT YET been determined. Shelters and rescues who desire to pick up animals must have submitted a request prior to arrival so that I can correctly inventory and place the animals in the best possible situations. My email addresses are lguyton@xxxxxxxx and louguyton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Please if you are able to commit to even a couple of animals, email me and I will place you a list. If you need to call me, my cell is 214-704-4868. Again, the animals will likely arrive sometime on Tuesday. I will update the information on MONDAY afternoon. If you haven't watched the news, Hurricane Katrina is now a Category 5 headed straight for New Orleans, the impact of which is expected to start Monday morning. Additionally, HSUS has teams staged in the Florida gulf coast area and here that are ready to dispatch to begin assessments for animal response after the hurricane hits. Impact could be from Florida to the Louisiana coast with severe flooding as an after effect. Thank you for caring!
