11/18/05: Need For Katrina Fosters Is Ongoing

On a single day, (November 14) Animal Rescue New Orleans saves 13 cats,
17
puppies, and 22 dogs. Multiply that times many days and you can
understand
our need for space.

Each day, rescued animals are transported to the Best
Friends shelter in Tylertown, Mississippi.

When the Best Friends facility is
full, we have nowhere to bring animals.
We currently have more than 3,000 locations in our database where
animals
have been reported hiding under porches and homes.

While our dedicated food/water volunteers continue to sustain animals in
and around New Orleans,

we can step up humane trapping and shelter with the help of foster
organizations.

11/18/05: St. Bernard readies wrecking ball 320 buildings get approval
for razing

By Karen Turni Bazile

St. Bernard/Plaquemines bureau
The first building demolitions in the wake of Hurricane Katrina's
widescale
devastation of St. Bernard Parish are expected to begin in about three
weeks.

St. Bernard Parish Council members on Tuesday approved a list of 320
buildings to be demolished. Inspectors had deemed each of the buildings
to have 100 percent damage from Hurricane Katrina, meaning the damage
exceeds the home's pre-Katrina value.
