What you were able to do is wonderful, Jen! I cannot even imagine what conditions there are like; by all accounts it's Hell on earth. It's heartbreaking and I think of the animals and children and the sick who can't understand what's happened to them. The only place I know of that is currently soliciting donations specifically for animal rescue from this horror is www.ifaw.org.in case anyone is interested.Julie

them! We actually hit the Houston SPCA and Humane Society here in
Houston to drop off food and supplies...The SPCA took in over 250
homeless animals from the Louisiana SPCA and the Humane Society is
going hotel-to-hotel, shelter-to-shelter to drop off much needed food
for other animal-refugees! We actually ran into another woman at
Sam's Club who saw our cart-load of food and mentioned that word went
out at Petsmart and Petco about the SPCA's call for food and donations
for the refugees...so the woman immediately picked up about 500 lbs.
of food and dropped it off at the shelter...it's good to know that the
animals haven't been forgotten in this tragedy!

Opens a link to click on to view the images of some of the pets in the storm. I know it's been discussed, wasn't sure anyone had seen the pictures. And these are only a few from ONE network. Lots of animals trapped on roofs and in houses.
