spcaLA helps animal victims of Hurricane Ike
I just got this fax:
The spcaLA's Disaster Animal Response Team (DART) was dispatched to Houston, TX early Saturday morning to assist with relief efforts per the request of Texas authorities. Now in position, DART will provide temporary shelter and front-line veterinary care to the animal victims of Hurricane Ike.
"Very often, our pets are what keep us going in times of crisis," says Madeline Bernststein, spcaLA President. "DART not only provides for animals, but allows their owners to breathe a sigh of relief knowing there are professionals out there looking after the safety of their pets."
The nine-member DART team reached Texas early Monday morning. spcaLA will begin to coordinate search0and0rescue as well as temporary shelter and food for pets who were left behind during Hurricane Ike.

I'm glad so many are doing something to help those animals!
Some bad and good pet-related news from me: I had the misfortune of being in the neighborhood when a dog got hit by a car a couple days ago. The owner needed help lifting the Cocker mix into their car, and some neighbors were nice enough to give them some blankets and towels to throw over the dog so he couldn't bite. Poor thing, I hope he made it!
Then today, I *hopefully* have helped save a red-listed cat's life. A sweet, pretty, young greyish tabby could be killed any moment at the South LA pound, but I may have found someone who's going to save her! Yay!
