I am taking two weeks leave from work and volunteering in New Orleans. They need volunteer with horse experience to care for the hundreds of horses they have rescued. I won't actually be in New Orleans (I don't think) but based out of Tylertown, MS.
Conditions are still bad there. They don't have electricity or water where the horses are being housed. Facilities are: bring a tent and water, food enough to eat while you are there. Here is the press release from one of the organizations which are coordinating the volunteer effort.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sept. 9, 2005
Despite the heroic efforts of volunteers and animal groups from both Louisiana and around the country, time is running out for the animals trapped in New Orleans, after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Help is desperately required to rescue animals trapped in the flooded ruins of New Orleans or roaming the streets in hungry packs. We need volunteers and boats.
Muttshack Animal Rescue says help is also urgently required to care for the hundreds of animals rescued and located in shelters with no power or running water. The following supplies are needed immediately at the Gonzales Shelter located at 9093 St. Landry Rd., Gonzales, LA, 70737. Please email our volunteer coordinator Sharon Gorski at [email protected] to coordinate delivery of items. Boats are still needed for search and rescues and can be delivered to the same address.
