Foster Homes for Displaced Pets Will Be Needed

Please support the Humane Society of the United State's Disaster Animal Response Team if you are able to.

From Lucky Mutts in Austin:

What's Going On:

The Waco Humane Society is staged to receive animals from evacuees staying in the area. They currently are not in need of anything.
HOW WE ARE HELPING: We are on the list to provide foster homes once more animals need them.

The Toney Berger Center is a “pet friendly” shelter – pets can stay outside in crates. They have more than enough food and supplies right now. They currently do not have any pets, but they are expecting 400 more refugees.
HOW WE ARE HELPING: They have no more storage space for pet food and supplies. We are taking donations and storing them until their current supply is down. We are also signing up fosters and volunteers to help with the animals once they arrive.

The Humane Society of the United States evacuated 300 animals. ALL of these animals have already found places to stay. There are other efforts in Gonzales, LA and more animals are likely to come.
HOW WE ARE HELPING: We are on the list to provide foster homes once more animals need them.

The Houston SPCA is sheltering pets for people is area shelters. They currently DO NOT need foster homes or more food donations.
HOW WE ARE HELPING: We are on the list to provide foster homes if needed and we are collecting items as listed on their website to deliver next week (http://www.spcahouston.org)

HOW YOU CAN HELP:

Let us know if you can provide a temporary or permanent foster home for animals. Please include any restrictions that might apply.

Donate pet food to one of our locations. We currently have drop offs in Lakeway, Westlake and East Austin. Let us know where you would like to go.

Be put on the list of volunteers who can help pets and their people --> katrina@luckymutts.com.

You can also donate to the Humane Society of the United States (the agency coordinating the evacuation efforts).

REMEMBER:

Lucky Mutts is dedicated to a SUSTAINED effort. Volunteers are being turned away from places like the Berger center because there are so many people that want to help right now. We are committed to making a difference even after the media hype dies down. People and their pets will need help for weeks to come. We understand the incredible urge to “go” and help. But remember: do not add to the chaos – help reduce it! Join a group and wait to be told how to help!
