Animal Victims -- Rescues & Shelters That Could Use Some Help

Here are some additional shelters/rescues in the affected areas, although the list is by no means meant to be all-inclusive. Listing them here also does not mean that I am offering my endorsement ;)

** read about this one in my blog post from earlier today, 9/22** Bay Area Pet Adoptions, from San Leon, is now operating out of the Katy Special Pals Facility. Read about the special people at Katy Special Pals who are so kindly assisting the animals, and people, from Bay Area Pet Adoptions. *

The Houston Humane Society
In need of gift cards for PetSmart, PetCo, WalMart, & gas stations. Capacity at HHS has nearly quintupled due to the care of animals from La Porte, Pasadena, & other municipalities in & around Houston. Resources are getting scarce. Kitty litter, towels, and blankets are desperately needed! Donations can be dropped off or mailed -- Alameda Rd (no street #), Houston, TX, 77053. For information about how to donate by phone or online, please visit this page on the HHS site.

Humane Society of Montgomery County
Located in Conroe
Last I heard, they really needed some help to relieve their over-burdened volunteers, some kitty litter and disposable litter pans, and monetary donations; however, because things often get confused in such chaotic times, the only things I can be sure they need are the monetary donations :) Please contact them to verify any other needs. (936) 441-4762

Noah's Ark
Located in Cypress (Harris County)
Has been damaged by Hurricane Ike -- cattery flooded, outside kennels crushed, roof of the horse barn damaged by fallen tree limbs. Among many of their immediate needs? Rebuilding a 7'-9' fence that partially encloses the dog yard, which would allow the dogs supervised free-play time & free volunteers to work on other projects instead of spending that time walking the dogs on a leash.

The Humane Society of S.E. TX
Located in Beaumont
Their greatest need at this time is for money, please see their home page for an excellent explanation.

Hopeful Haven Equine Rescue
Located in Louisiana
See my blog post date 9/21 for details of a great deal on hay if donations reach a "magic number'!
