Hi Guys, I just read a piece online at MSNBC about the pets that have been abandoned. Lots of work is being done to find and rescue animals and to help the already rescued. One thing I found very heartening is that people in Red Cross Shelters are allowed to keep their 4 legged family members with them. The people are responsible for the care of the animal but I am sure that's no problem. Also, most boarding facilities are offering free or reduced rate boarding for displaced family pets. Texas hotels, etc. have waived the weight or "no pet" rules and numerous businesses in the Gulf States are offering all sorts of help in reuniting ALL the family members. Personally, I FIRMLY believe that having their pets rejoin the family will do more for the emotional well being of the family than just about anything else :-))). CiaoMeow >^;;^<
