Hurricane Katrina--ANIMAL RESCUE HELP NEEDED
AFP/Getty Images - Tue Aug 30,12:06 PM ETHere are two locations shelters requesting help from all levels of expertise that I took from the Louisiana School of Veterinary Medicine website. You can check the authenticity here (look on bottom of page). Always check authenticity of sources before calling, volunteering and especially giving as there are criminals who are actively engaged in trying to scam good-hearted people who want to help. SeEtta
