"Locate Your Lost Katrina Pet Event" Dec 16-18

Dear Louisiana Rescuers,
Best Friends is hosting a "Locate Your Lost Katrina Pet" event in New Orleans from December 16-18.
As you know, several thousand families are still searching for the pets they lost in the hurricanes. Unfortunately, it has been very difficult, even impossible, for them to navigate all of the available resources.
This event will allow pet guardians to search in one place for their pets. We will set up banks of computers and give families the opportunity to work with reunion specialists to search for their pets - on a first come/first served basis.
We have asked numerous groups, including Mutt Shack, Grassroots Emergency Animal Rescue (at the Winn Dixie), Humane Louisiana, and Pasado's Safe Haven to participate, bringing their databases and intake records. We have invited Petfinder, Stealth Volunteers and other reunion specialists to participate as well.
We need your help to spread the word to people who are still searching for their lost pets.
This event will be publicized in the New Orleans area on WWL Radio which as you probably know has a wide-reaching audience. We are also developing other media opportunities.
Here are some of the pertinent details:
Where: Garden District Hotel 2203 St. Charles Avenue (corner of Jackson and St. Charles Avenues) New Orleans, LA 70130 University Conference Room When: Friday, December 16 - 10am - 6pm Saturday, December 17 - 10am - 6pm Sunday, December 18 - 1pm - 6pm
Free parking in the rear of the hotel
Thank you for your support and for all you are doing to help the displaced pets of Katrina. For additional information, contact:
