Woof Dat? Barkus parade Canines
celebrate their New Orleans Saints
Even the dogs are getting into the team spirit with this year's
Barkus Tail Gate party. The
Mystic Krewe of Barkus 2010's theme " Barkus Goes Tailgating,
The Dogs Go Barking In", filled the streets of the French
Quarter on Superbowl Sunday to prove that in New Orleans, even
the dogs wanted to be Drew Breeze!
While Santa was posing for photos, MuttShack volunteers
dressed as elves came out in full force at the Esplanade
Mall this weekend to help Jefferson Parish Animal
Shelter animals find homes.
Please support our
efforts in Louisiana.
MuttShack Renews Its Katrina Promise
at the Jefferson Parish Hurricane Summit
New
Orleans, May 30, 2008
“No animals will be left behind” was the clear message to the
public at the Jefferson Parish Hurricane Summit.
Jefferson Parish
residents attended demonstrations and presentations on State and
Parish preparations for the 2008 Hurricane Season at the
Eastbank Regional Library, 4747 West Napoleon Avenue in Metairie
on Friday, May 30th.
Amazing Animal Rescue Project !
The Katrina Promise
When Katrina hit, an incredible group of dedicated volunteers came
to East New Orleans. Facing devastation and hardship they
rescued over 3,000 pets. MuttShack operated a MASH unit, pet
shelter and an aggressive dog clinic run by Jim Crosby, the leader
in canine aggression.
MuttShack stayed and lobbied in support of Senator Fontenot's Pets
Act, winning the right for people to evacuate with their pets.
But the crisis is not over
The Act does not provide for all the supplies, equipment and
training that is necessary pre-storm.
Even though people will be evacuated with their pets, supplies and
trained volunteers are still desperately needed. Watch the
video and see how you can play a part.
