Safe Havens and Veterinary Services Needed for Hurricane

Katrina's Equine Refugees

Place Your Facility on the USEF Hurricane Equine Relief List

(Lexington, KY) - As Americans view the newscasts of the

devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina it is clear that both humans

and animals require immediate emergency relief from not only official

agencies but from the generosity of individuals.

If you have a facility or pasture which you can offer to house refugee

horses and ponies, victims of Hurricane Katrina, please email your

name, address, phone number and email address to [email protected] , or

at 859-225-6993, (please email if at all possible as we expect a heavy

load of calls.)

If you can volunteer veterinary services please submit your contact

information. The USEF is posting a listing by state of these safe

havens for horses and ponies on our website. The list will be

accessed by going to www.usef.org, on the right side of the homepage

click on Hurricane Katrina Equine Relief. It is expected to be

operational by tonight, August 31st and will serve as a master list to

help horse owners in Katrina's path find help. Other equine

organizations wishing to assist the effort and link to the list should

also email [email protected].

We urge the participation of anyone who has the space, veterinary

expertise and tenderness of heart to help these equine refugees.

Does anyone know how the people from the West side of New Orleans can get to East side of New Orleans so we can help. I seen where people in Texas are offering to help. all our roads are blocked and we can't get past New Orleans. we live about 60 miles West. I can pick some up and board if need. we are wanting to Help. You can email me at [email protected]

I just talked to Dr. Rabacheaux at Lamar Dixon. All horses rescued stay at Lamar Dixon. They have plenty of food, water and medicial needs met. we can not pick up any horses that has been rescued. they are in good hands.

if you know of any horses needing a rescue, you can call him at 337=380=3800

Didn't know if this link had been posted, but it's another option for rescue of animals in disasters:

Noahs Wish

For those of us that can't physically help, I think the next best thing is to perhaps do without something expendable (such as a movie, dinner out, a mocha, etc. etc.) and donate the extra to a worthy charity.

I have not researched this one, yet, but thought maybe someone else would have some input on it.
