Katrina Horse Rescue Efforts Underway by STRIDE

A horse rescue convoy is being assembled by STRIDE members and others to take horse supplies into the areas affected by Hurricane Katrina. On Wednesday authorities began issuing identification badges, determining a safe route through State highways and securing a safe and secure distribution point for distributing the supplies.

The Alabama Department of Agriculture has assigned STRIDE's relief to go to Mobile County.

Several trucks and trailers are being used to carry hay, feed, halters, lead ropes, vet supplies, drugs and buckets. The group is also seeking cash donations to help with the cost of fuel for the trip.

A drop off point for donations has been set up at "Horsin' Around" on Route 40 just west of I-75. Another drop off point is The Saddler of Tampa (813)985-0282, (888)854-1118. Those wishing to help can also contact Don Orem at 352-585-6114 or by email at dorem@atlantic.net

Good idea Noah. Did you see Mark Suddiths video with the horse standing on the west side of the north bound lane of 49 grazing on down tree limbs? He looked beautiful.

I am reposting about the Humane Society. They are trying to rescue as many pets as possible.

Pets are in no way able to fend for themselves. People love to think cats can fend for themselves but then rip their little claws right out so they can't even climb a tree.

I think the Humane Society should clean up the Dome and use it as an animal shelter for now. Can you imagine all the poor animals that are left stranded with nowhere to go, no food or water and no one to protect them? It is a terrible human tragedy, but remember many people did not evacuate because they could not stand to leave their beloved pets behind. So for those that perhaps lost their lives to stay with their pets, this should be considered in their honor.

I think it would be impossible to clean it up in any reasonable amount of time. Those poor animals who have survived need to be out of there too.

I was talking to someone with relatives in NO that escaped with only their lives. I mentioned that I would take in a couple dogs. He said there aren't any dogs or cats to rescue, they died.
Are there live animals on the news? I haven't seen them.

[Houstonia]

Along the same lines: can anyone provide me with a place that I can donate money or supplies to? Either locally or nationally, all that i ask is that it directly aids the animals from Hurricane Katrina.

Someplace legitimate and with a low overhead.

Any ideas out there?

I saw one being tied into a milk crate as a kind of improvised kennel, and it appeared the animal was going to be evacuated. Of course it could also have been a SAR dog.

WONDERFUL!! Exactly what I was looking for - thank you so much !

I believe the dog in the crate belonged to the family that had been rescued at the same time. I also heard mention (during the briefing for Bush, I think) that the Coast Guard was rescuing pets with the owners. And my mom said she saw some people put on a truck with their dog.

Does anyone know if the miniature horses got rescued?

Please let all members know that we have opened a pet shelter at Blackham Coliseum in Lafayette, right next to the Cajundome. Evacuees may bring their pets their for housing. We have PLENTY of food, water, crates, cages, bedding and newspaper. BUT the owners are responsible for feeding, watering, walking and medicating their own pets.

Interested parties may call Lafayette Parish Animal Control at 337-291-5644 for more information.

Also many area vets are accepting animals right now, until they fill up. Get the Yellow Pages out!

Please help me to get this word out. I've been working non-stop! THANKS!

There will be a lot of animals to rescue and track their owners not just in NO but remember Mississippi got hit as well.

My cousins stayed during Camille and now not a single one owns pets because after Camille they all became so afraid of dogs and cats. They were all young children and crazed, injured and starving dogs and especially cats kept showing up at their house which was one of the few where people stayed the entire 60 days the area was without power. They had to heat everything on a charcoal grill so animals would smell it and come.

A lot of people will take their dogs and leave their cats shut in their house. My cousin has a friend with her in Florida now who took her dog but left her two cats in Waveland. If these cats should have lived through the hurricane there are no doubt many ways they can escape the house but without claws they sure can't fend for themselves. I have also seen numerous dogs in NO on video that were taken at first and abandoned when help obviously wasn't coming. It is just a sad state these pets will be in in the coming months.
