ASPCA Sets up Databases for Lost Pets and Volunteer Opportunities

ASPCA On-Site Efforts

A group of ASPCA employees led by Kelly Harrington, director of the ASPCA Disaster Response Program, have left for Jackson, MS, to assist Code 3 with their rescue efforts. Accompanying Harrington are Humane Law Enforcement agent Richard Raheb; Margaret McLaughlin, director of Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital's veterinary technicians; and Sandy Monterose, ASPCA National Outreach's northeast manager. They are traveling in the fully equipped disaster vehicle, which includes a 40-foot trailer and a boat.

LOUSIANA SPCA Report

The ASPCA's National Outreach department has at last made contact with Laura Maloney, executive director of the Louisiana SPCA. All of the shelter's animals were safely evacuated, and the group is now concentrating efforts on helping remove and relocate other animals from the area. Maloney and some of her staff are using a horse farm in Gonzales, LA, as their staging area. Violence in the New Orleans area is prohibiting them from getting close to the city, and they were turned away by the State Police for safety reasons.
