Hi, ARNO Needs Your Help! Subject: Appeal From Jane Garrison To all who have supported animal rescue in New Orleans:I personally wanted to ask you to help ARNO with a desperate situation.They are still filling 4,000 active food/water stations over 650 miles.They are trapping, fostering, and adopting out animals when they are able.They are supporting bills that will include animals in future evacuations.They are doing everything that they can to help. The biggest challenge they are facing right now:Obtaining cat and dog food.To most pet food manufactures, Hurricane Katrina is old news. To most people, it is hard to imagine that there are still animals on the streets desperate for help. It would be a tragedy for these animals to have survived 2 hurricanes, a flood and 9 months on the streets only to die of starvation.We all must keep these animals alive. PLEASE send ARNO wal-mart gift cards or donations so they can buy cat and dog food. If you live in driving distance and can organize a cat/dog fooddrive and bring them food...please do! Just please do something...anything! Visit http://animalrescueneworleans.com for more info. By the way...they still need help trapping and feeding so plan your next trip to New Orleans! Thank you in advance for helping feed the animals we all saw, helped... The anmal who touched our hearts forever. I can't thank you all enough.
