Here is a disturbing video about the dogs who were left behind after Katrina. If you have room to welcome an abandoned pet in your home, please go here and register. I signed us up to take in one dog, but I have a sickening feeling that some people would rather just shoot them than go to the trouble of transporting them and placing them in foster care. I keep thinking about my little Joe and Pax running around out there, hungry and alone. I heard that originally FEMA was telling people to evacuate but not allowing them to bring their pets. WTH?!?!?! If there was a disaster heading towards Kansas City, I'd get the heck out, but I would absolutely refuse to leave my dogs. There is no way.

We're getting truckloads of the poor animals coming up to central Arkansas...many are getting transported on up north, so a few might end up in your neck of the woods.

It's sad how few people believe that we should protect the weakest among us.
