The Viewer Viewoint - Hurricane Update

Hurricane Charley's Animal Victims - August 2004

From Jodi Witte, for About.com

AnimalHelp.Com has been in contact with Pets911 from Florida and have shared all information regarding lost and found pets. They will help to match up these animals with the calls they are getting. We will continue to collect information and will share it with Pets911 to ensure these animals have the best chance possible to return home. Pets911 has also been successful in getting 2 semi-truckloads of Pedigree Dog and Cat Food. (Thank you Pedigree!) The trucks are currently enroute to Florida. AnimalHelp.Com is working with Pets911 to help set up a location for this donation to be delivered. This food will be available to all shelters and humane groups who are currently helping animals. We may need a fork lift available at the location to unload the truck and will start searching for a volunteer with a fork lift to come help. (PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP WITH THAT!) Please visit the Pets911 website for more information on what they do. They are a fabulous group of people who help lost, found, and abused animals all over the state of Florida. www.pets911.org
