LA Flood Animals Medical Care
Donation protected
Animal Rescue New Orleans (ARNO) in New Orleans, LA has worked tirelessly since the flooding in Louisiana two weeks ago by partnering with other organizations to help shelter animals and collect/distribute supplies to the affected areas. To date, we have taken into our no kill rescue 100 animals from flooded shelters. On Friday, August 27, 2016, we welcomed 24 dogs into our rescue from St. Landry Parish Animal Control & Rescue . Numerous dogs in their care (either shelter dogs prior to the flooding or owner surrenders) had to be moved due to drainage issues in the shelter. We have also taken in 39 dogs and 24 cats so far from the devastated Denham Springs Animal Shelter, as well as numerous cats from flooded shelters in Sorrento and Baton Rouge. We are sending more transports out to Acadiana and to Baton Rouge, Denham Springs and Livingston Parishes with supplies.
- 90% percent of the animals we have taken in are heartworm positive.
- Almost all need to be spayed/neutered.
- We have two pregnant dogs and two pregnant cats.
- We have a dog with a possible broken hip that will be seeing the vet tomorrow.
- We have taken in seniors, blind dogs and dogs that are malnourished.
We need your help to get all of these animals the vet care they need. We have doubled our capacity since August 15th and we are a volunteer-based, no kill rescue that survives solely on donations. We do not receive any government funding at all. Please help if you can! No donation is too small and 100% of your donation goes directly to food, shelter and medical care for these flood animals!
The Petco Foundation has generously committed to matching donations up to $10,000! "The Petco Foundation joins community efforts to support the tireless work of Animal Rescue New Orleans (ARNO) as they are responding and partnering with organizations across flood affected areas to save lives. To further their lifesaving mission, the Petco Foundation will match all donations received by ARNO up to $10,000. Please join us in helping them save lives."
