   Adopt a Hurricane Katrina animal survivor!   
      
   Rescued dogs and cats need homes   
       
   A Hugs For Puppies member on the ground in Gulfport, Mississippi reports   
   that hundreds of dogs and cats there - many rescued from dumpsters,   
   trash piles, or flooded areas, some covered in spilled oil and barely   
   breathing, others suffering from assorted diseases - are in desperate   
   need of homes and in danger of being killed due to the overwhelming   
   number of animals to tend to.   
      
    While groups like the Humane Society of the United States and local   
   shelters are killing healthy animals, many no-kill animal rescue groups   
   are working to find loving homes for the animal survivors of Katrina.   
       
   Hugs for Puppies is asking anyone with a kind heart and space for an   
   animal companion to consider opening their home to one of the brave   
   animal survivors of Katrina.   
      
    Every animal adopted into a loving home means space opens up for a   
   second animal to be saved from death at the hands of "humane"   
   societies that are killing healthy animals.   
       
   If you or anyone you know can adopt a Hurricane Katrina animal survivor,   
   please contact HugsForPuppies@riseup.net . If you have a preferred size,   
   color, or breed of dog or cat please specify, and we will try to match   
   your request as closely as possible.   
       
   Volunteers able to travel to Mississippi and monetary donations are also   
   badly needed. Hugs member Stephanie Wilson, on the ground in Gulfport,   
   reports:   
       
   "We urgently need vets, vet techs, and most of all, everyday volunteers   
   - if you are at all able, for any lenght of time, please come to   
   gulfport, please come to biloxi, please come to gonzolas and lend a hand   
   - walking dogs, nursing week-old kittens, helping out animals who have   
   nothing on their side and no one to stand for them.   
      
   monetary donations are also desperately needed in order to keep the   
   rescue operation afloat (no pun intended), as well as to get much needed   
   veterinary care for the 50 animals or so that are arriving every day."   
      
   please send all donations to:
