January 22, 2006 - Believe it or not, there are still thousands of animals waiting to leave the Gulf Coast. While many many animals were moved out through the tremendous efforts of Best Friends, the HSUS and SPCA in Louisiana, there are so many more animals that are still waiting: animals who were in private situations and treated by vets or private individuals and are now ready to travel (like Dorothy, who's coming on 1/24); animals who, while in transition, gave birth to puppies -- and that is the BIGGEST problem right now -- who are ready to travel; and the many many animals that are being trapped as part of HSUS/Best Friends' efforts to get all of the homeless animals to safety. Once safe in the area, they need to move on out to other parts of the country where they can be adopted to families.

Janis was in New Orleans and Gulfport MS this past week. She cancelled her flight and is driving back with 16 animals. Her report is "I can't just "fly away" knowing there are THOUSANDS of homeless dogs needing assistance."

Please help us make this happen. Your donation will go directly to helping to bring animals out of New Orleans and is tax deductable. Thank you.
