Desperate Plea....

From: Jane Garrison, janegarrison@comcast.net
Date: Fri, 5 May 2006
Subject: Appeal From Jane Garrison

To all who have supported animal rescue in New Orleans:
I personally wanted to ask you to help ARNO with a desperate situation.
They are still filling 4,000 active food/water stations over 650 miles.
They are trapping, fostering, and adopting out animals when they are able.
They are supporting bills that will include animals in future evacuations.
They are doing everything that they can to help.

The biggest challenge they are facing right now:
Obtaining cat and dog food.
To most pet food manufactures, Hurricane Katrina is old news. To most
people, it is hard to imagine that there are still animals on the streets
desperate for help. It would be a tragedy for these animals to have survived
2 hurricanes, a flood and 9 months on the streets only to die of starvation.
We all must keep these animals alive.

PLEASE send ARNO wal-mart gift cards or donations so they can buy cat and
dog food. If you live in driving distance and can organize a cat/dog food
drive and bring them food...please do! Just please do something...anything!

By the way...they still need help trapping and feeding so plan your next
trip to New Orleans! Thank you in advance for helping feed the animals we
all saw, helped... The anmal who touched our hearts forever. I can't thank
you all enough.  Jane Garrison
