MICHIGAN HUMANE SOCIETY TO ASSIST
ANIMAL VICTIMS OF HURRICANE KATRINA
September 2, 2005 - As people around the country unite to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina, the Michigan Humane Society is joining the relief effort by sending a rescue team and is accepting donations to support this team’s efforts. Funds can be donated directly to the Michigan Humane Society or through donation canisters at any local Pet Supplies "Plus" store.
“We have assembled an MHS rescue team which will be deployed to the region once conditions allow,” says Debby MacDonald, cruelty investigator for the Michigan Humane Society and member of the rescue team awaiting dispatch. “We will be prepared to assist with a wide-variety of activities that may include rescuing and searching for animals, distributing animal-related supplies such as food and water and caring for animals at temporary shelters.”
Monetary donations are the most effective means for people to help due to the complexity of shipping, distributing and storing food and other supplies.
Please donate to the MHS rescue team’s relief efforts, allowing us to assist animals affected by Hurricane Katrina:
