Additional Roicy dogs added (Jan 20)
Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2006 19:53:35 -0600 From: "Debbie" <rescuerealtor @cox .net> Subject: Additional Roicy dogs added. Forum: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LouisianaDogCatRescu/
Missy has posted 4 additional dogs. There were no adoptions or pulls today as far as I know. If you are looking for a dog who can be a movie star, it is the cute boy in kennel 9....just adorable. Most of the dogs are small and highly adoptable. There is another gorgeous Walker Hound, and the sweet boy in kennel 12 never stops wagging his tail. The cats are all wonderful. We had 100% adoption yesterday...the one cat that was left was adopted late afternoon. Thanks for getting the word out about these great animals. Rescue can pull at anytime, as long as it is BEFORE 3. If anyone wishes to donate a Karanda bed to get these animals off the cold, wet cement, it would be appreciated. Small and medium ones will probably work best. Roicy is listed as Lafayette Animal Control Center. http://www.kuranda.com/shop/donate.asp. Land has been located for a new, much larger facility, but it will be awhile, so Virginia is trying to do the best she can with this completely inadequate building.

Humane Society of Louisiana is a 501c3 nonprofit currently caring for Katrina¹s displaced companion animals.
The Humane Society of Louisiana¹s temporary shelter in Tylertown, MS is sorely understaffed! On January 18, just ONE person tended to 47 dogs and 36 cats. A camper is situated on-site for volunteers to sleep in. Plan to travel self-sufficient.
With no sanctuary to return to in New Orleans, the HSLA will continue to be based out of "Camp Katrina" in Tylertown, Mississippi, for at least the next few months. As the nation's attention turns from the aftermath of Katrina and Rita, our numbers of volunteers have correspondingly dwindled. Please, make no mistake about it! Help is still urgently needed!

- mailto:humanela@gmail-dot-com (@gmail.com), or call: 740-972-6754

Louisiana SPCA Launches A Series of Pro-Active Programs for 2006 (Jan 19)
Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2006 18:16:01 -0000 From: "veni harlan" <borzoirule @cox .net> Louisiana SPCA Launches A Series of Pro-Active Programs for 2006 Forum: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KatrinaAnimalReliefLA/
Louisiana SPCA Launches A Series of Pro-Active Programs for 2006
NEW ORLEANS (12/31/05) - The Louisiana SPCA is ringing in the New Year with a series of innovative and creative programs that embraces the organization's mission to protect animals, provide shelter and improve the animal ethic statewide, Executive Director Laura Maloney announced today.
"Hurricane Katrina was devastating for our community, for both animals and people, but as we rebuild and recover we have to move from that place of loss to a place that improves the lives of animals for years to come," says Maloney.
One of the agency's primary initiatives is providing low cost spay/neuter options for the region. Although the agency sterilized 5,000 animals in 2004, animal overpopulation continues to be a problem in the state. The LA/SPCA will work in conjunction with local and national agencies on the spay/neuter project. The agency is also coordinating with the South Louisiana Veterinary Association and local veterinarians to establish a voucher program that will allow eligible people the opportunity to visit a private veterinarian for subsidized spay or neuter.
Beginning January 6, the Louisiana SPCA will launch the Lily Project, named after a dog who was returned to her owner after being separated due to Hurricane Katrina. The program will provide the public with free collars and ID's that include a special serial number and 1-800 number to call when a lost pet is found. The program is being coordinated with the company, 1-800-HELP-4-PETS, who will maintain the database that will be available 24 hours a day. The free collars and tags will be available until June 1, 2006, and can be picked up at the LA/SPCA facility at 701 Thayer Street. Animal control officers patrolling the streets will also have them available on their vehicles.
The Lily Project coincides with a major trapping program being launched in early January to effectively "sweep" the unpopulated areas of lost pets and strays. All pet owners are asked to give their furred companions a collar and tag so if they escape and are caught during our intensive trapping campaign, the owner and pet can be reunited following capture.
In February, the agency will establish a Humane Law Enforcement division in Baton Rouge to help animals around the state via legislation and investigation of crimes against animals. "Establishing a presence in Baton Rouge will allow us to formalize our relationship with decision makers and lawmakers in the state's capital city," says Maloney. The agency also hopes to support other municipalities in their animal welfare efforts and create more dialogue and awareness of animal issues on a statewide level.
At the LA/SPCA's new temporary location at 701 Thayer Street, New Orleans, the agency is also developing new shelter programs, protocols and staff training to specifically address the needs of animals cared for and housed in a shelter environment. The rehabilitation tent is one such example. The specially designed tent has been designed to create a space for the animals where quiet and peace are at an optimum level. The animals housed there are evaluated and receive an individual intervention plan, a quiet spot, and lots of human attention to encourage confidence building. The agency has also hired a trainer who will work with staff on developing protocols for animal behavioral observations.
"It's a bright future for animals even though our shelter was destroyed and we're starting over. We're committed to those we serve and fulfilling our mission to New Orleans and the state of Louisiana," says Maloney.
The Louisiana SPCA worked in cooperation with several other agencies to rescue more than 8,500 animals after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans on August 29th. The Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (LA/SPCA) is a private non-profit organization dedicated to the elimination of animal suffering. Chartered in 1888, it is the oldest and most comprehensive animal welfare organization in the state of Louisiana providing care and basic medical services for approximately 11,000 homeless and unwanted animals each year. The LA/SPCA is a membership organization that depends upon the support of the public.
ARNO *DESPERATELY* Needs Volunteers (Jan 19)
Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2006 18:15:35 -0000 From: "veni harlan" <borzoirule @cox .net> Subject: ARNO *DESPERATELY* Needs Volunteers Forum: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KatrinaAnimalReliefLA/
[Note: An aggressive campaign to trap is underway.]
I volunteered with ARNO animalrescueneworleans.com from November 19-26, and just recently again from January 11-15. In November, I worked with them at the Magazine/Felicity location and in January at Celebration Station in Metairie. Even though the new location is bigger and they are now housing pets on-site, and seem to be erecting new dog kennels daily, they are still EXTREMELY SHORT of Food & Water Volunteers.
There were only a handful of volunteers going out daily to service the Food & Water stations throughout 650 square miles. I was extremely saddened to go to my Section 27 which I serviced in November, and saw in three instances, animals waiting at those stations, and the food was COMPLETELY EMPTY. Those same animals were there in November - so they have been surviving on the streets for FIVE MONTHS post-Katrina - with the help of these stations.
I am BEGGING anyone who can travel to New Orleans to go to animalrescueneworleans.com and volunteer for Food/Water duty. It is a shame that these animals may die now -- after being sustained for FIVE MONTHS on the streets with the help of these stations.
There were an incredible amount of volunteers at ARNO who were sitting around - I don't know why they couldn't have been assigned F/W duty. Perhaps they didn't have vehicles. But it's a damn shame if these animals die now, because of no F/W volunteers.
Below is my website, chronicling my November and January journeys to New Orleans.
