Hurricane Gustav

Most of us are all waiting and watching to see how much havoc Hurricane Gustav is going to wreak on New Orleans and the surrounding areas. We saw what happened last time the levees broke, and we bore witness to the severe damage that resulted from the catastrophic flooding. For many of us, there is little we can do until the storm moves out.

However, there are some people who are already making a difference down there, helping people board their family pets after being told they could not take them on buses with them, and sheltering animals that were left to ride out the storm. I wanted to take a moment to honor these animal rescuers and others who are doing the same. Without them, the poor pets would ONCE AGAIN be denied and left to play Russian Roulette with the hurricane. Click this link to see what some rescue organizations are doing!
