Katrina Relief

The American Kennel Club is doing it's part in the relief efforts from Hurricane Katrina. Below is a link to their web site where donations can be made. http://www.akc.org/ . As I get more information about what is being done for the rescue of the animals there I will be sure to post it. Also the ASPCA is also taking donations for their Katrina Disaster Relief. Click here for their web site

This is an article I just copied from the AKC web site.


HURRICANE KATRINA RELIEF
[Tuesday, August 30, 2005]
AKC Working To Provide Relief to Canine Victims of Hurricane KatrinaIn the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the American Kennel Club (AKC) is working to make contact with delegates, presidents and secretaries of AKC Member and Licensed Clubs in the hurricane-stricken states. Additionally, the AKC is working with the Houston Kennel Club and the Florida Association of Kennel Clubs (FAKC) to determine where shelters and staging areas will be established. If your club is in need of assistance or you know a shelter that needs help, please contact us at
seekhelp@akc.org or call 800-252-7894. You may also call Diane Albers, FAKC, at 800-597-2987."The AKC is greatly saddened by the devastating hurricane that continues to leave a path of destruction across the South," said Dennis B. Sprung, AKC President and CEO. "Notwithstanding the human tragedy and untold billions of dollars in damage, we expect there are untold numbers of canine victims that are in desperate need of our assistance. We will do everything in our power to help them." The AKC will continue to post frequent updates to our website at www.akc.org.

Blessed Be
