WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP?
CHECK OUT THE BEST FRIENDS RESCUE (They saved a LOT of dogs and cats during Hurricane Katrina in 2005): 
Every day in this country, more than 9,000 dogs and cats — about six per minute — are killed in animal shelters, simply because they don't have safe places to call home. Each one of these pets is an individual. Each one is a valued life worth saving. That number should be zero — and it can be. Your contribution will go straight to work helping tens of thousands of animals at the Best Friends Sanctuary and all across the U.S. Thank you for supporting homeless cats and dogs.
