1. Someone Must Know What Happened To Milo
SOURCE: Jane Morgan, 3jax@jam.rr.com
Milo at age 3. He is now 8... Since the Carollos lost everything to Katrina,
these are the only picture's available.
FROM KINSHIP CIRCLE: Milo is a “poster boy” for Katrina’s lost, his beautiful face a frequent reminder: In Katrina’s Diaspora, so many are still out there, unfound in an imperfect system. We have featured Milo in at least three Gulf Coast Newsletters, asking for leads or clues... Now a photo emerges, possibly taken at Best Friends/Tylertown, MS in September 2005. A white dog leans against a wire fence... Is he Milo?
Do you have the tip or lead that could bring Milo home? Do you know ANYONE who volunteered at Best Friends/Tylertown who might recognize this dog? If you do, contact directly: Jane Morgan, 3jax@jam.rr.com
Photo found at: www.petroglyphsnm.org/covers/katrina3.html
12/26/06, From Jane Morgan, 3jax@jam.rr.com — We believe this photo might have
been taken at Best Friends in Tylertown, MS during the month of September 2005. The
white dog in the photo resembles Milo, an 8-year old male jack russell terrier lost from St. Bernard Parish during Katrina.
Frank Carollo (Milo's dad) has looked at the picture and says the white dog could be Milo. I've been trying to find any Tylertown volunteer who might remember this white dog and know what happened to him. Would it be possible for you to put this picture in your newsletter and ask if any Tylertown volunteer (or anyone else for that matter) recognizes the white dog? If you have any suggestions about where else I might be able to post this picture and reach Tylertown volunteers, I'm all ears.
CONTACT DIRECTLY: Jane Morgan, 3jax@jam.rr.com
If anyone recognizes this white dog from Tylertown or elsewhere, please email 3jax@jam.rr.com. Any information, leads or clues,
no matter how small, are greatly appreciated.

MORE INFO ON THE SEARCH FOR MILO
12/26/06, From Kathie, kasp@tops-tele.com — If you could help, would you? …Somebody knows something, and that's what
we are hoping for. A small, white JRT named Milo was lost during Katrina. His family has been methodically looking for him
through websites, emails, phone calls and finally, they may have a break in this.
The dad of Milo, Frank Carollo, believes [the white dog in the photo possibly taken at Best Friends/Tylertown] might be Milo. Please, help Frank put his heart at ease by looking at the photo. Pass this along to anyone, anywhere who might or could also pass it along... His family is devastated, and just wants him back.
...Milo is all white except for a brown ring around his right eye, and a brown patch on the top of his left hear. He has dew claws and a cropped tail. He is a long-legged JRT. Check your files if you worked with any Katrina dogs since you should have pictures of any dogs you took into rescue along with records. Post this to your groups including Yahoo, Craig's list, myspace, or any others you may belong to, post it on your sites, send it to anyone who may or may not have info…
Here is what we do know right from the folks who have worked non-stop to get information: Emails have been sent to Bruce England, Allyn Harrad, Katie Keaty, Julien McRoberts of Watermelon Ranch and Nancy Marano of Petroglyphs. They believe the picture was taken at BF Tylertown when the Watermelon Ranch volunteers went down there to help. None has found the original. Bruce, Allyn or Katie, all of whom were at Tylertown, do not remember this dog, but they say that they worked with the larger dogs. Katie thought this picture was taken at Toytown in Tylertown.
Cathy Scott of Best Friends did not think it was Tylertown at first because she did not think that they had bedding in the kennels. I came across a different photo taken by a volunteer named Evelyn Black that showed bedding in the kennels at Tylertown. Cathy then got Sherry Woodard who was in charge of the kennels to look at the white dog photo and Sherry recognized one of the other dogs in the picture; Sherry thinks that it is Tylertown. Cathy and Sherry are looking for records on the white dog but have not found anything. Cathy is thinking that it dates from very early on at Tylertown.
However, according to Allyn, they arrived at Tylertown several days before Rita hit, probably about Sept 20 and left about Sept 27 — which would make it a later time frame than what Cathy Scott guesses.
It has been very difficult to get info about this photo and even more difficult to find anyone who recognizes the white dog.
Someone must know what happened to Milo.

2. 1st Louisiana Statewide Conference - Strategies For Animals
SOURCE: Jeff Dorson, stopcruelty11@gmail.com
The Humane Society of Louisiana, in collaboration with Animal Rescue New Orleans, the Coalition of Louisiana Animal Advocates, and Pet Aid proudly announce the first annual statewide conference on strategic planning:
Successful Strategies for Helping Animals
WHEN: Saturday, January 20, 2007 - 9:00am to 4:00pm
WHERE: Denham Springs City Hall
941 Government St; Denham Springs, LA
TO REGISTER: Send $15.00 to the Humane Society of Louisiana, (write "statewide conference" on check memo), and mail to:
P.O. Box 740321, New Orleans, La 70174
The cost includes a vegetarian lunch and refreshments.
DISPLAY TABLES: To reserve a display table for your organization, contact stopcruelty11@gmail.com
The conference will address 3 areas of general concern to those working or volunteering in the animal protection field:
1. How do we adequately respond to animal cruelty complaints?
2. How do we encourage more pet owners to sterilize their companion animals?
3. How do we increase our adoption rates?
This one-day conference intends to answer most of those questions by providing keynote speakers from different state
enforcement agencies and from recognized leaders in the field of pet adoptions and low cost spay/neuter programs. Part of this
workshop will also focus on developing and implementing statewide initiatives and on developing new partnerships with other
organizations in an effort to improve each agency's services and foster resource sharing plans.
Representatives from state orgs. and humane agencies scheduled to appear: The Louisiana Livestock Brand Commission, the
Louisiana State Police, The Department of Social Services (Child Protection), The Pet Justice Project, the Livingston Parish
Sheriff's Department, and Spay/Louisiana. Also speaking will be Mr. Mike Arms, Executive Director of the Helen Woodward
Animal Care Center, in San Diego, and one of the nation's premier authority on successful pet adoptions.
3. Ring In 2007 With Aid For New Orleans Animals
SOURCE: Charlotte Bass, table25@bellsouth.net
New Orleans / New Year's Eve, 12/31/06 • Can you spare a little time… today, tomorrow, this week or thru January?
ARNO needs volunteers who can help at the shelter.
We are understaffed and need people who can help us with animal care. Duties include 'dishes' (litter pans and food/water bowl
scrubbing), laundry, cat cages cleaned, puppy pens cleaned, dogs walked... but mostly we need help with dishes and the cats.
We have over 130 cats in shelter right now.
Please post to your friends and associates who care about animals. ARNO's success has always been, and continues to be, dependent upon volunteers. We need more local volunteers to keep the operation running. ARNO has been blessed with a successful outreach for out-of-state volunteers but there are times when we must call upon our local folks. I know locals are all busy with your own rescues, rebuilding your homes, your businesses, and trying to get back to financial stability. But please consider coming to help us at the shelter… even one day a week for a few hours.
If you know high school students who love animals, this is a perfect opportunity to put in community service hours, and a wonderful opportunity to add a bright spot to rescued animals lives.

Vet Tech Paid Opportunities
ARNO is seeking multiple teams of two techs to work on alternating Sundays for five-seven hour shifts. We are embarking on a
new shelter feline medical care program and need techs (or vet school students) to inoculate, both subcu and internasal, examine
and administer meds. We welcome experienced techs who have a partner tech they work with at a clinic. Come with your
buddy, make some extra money, and get experience in an up-and-coming specialty field of veterinary medicine.EXPERIENCED VET TECHS, CONTACT: arnoinfo@cox.net

Attention Feeders and Caretakers
ARNO supports Best Friends Animal Society/HSUS's initiative to assist in our area with TNR efforts. This program is intended to
last four to six months and will use SpayLA vouchers for funding of the s/n surgeries. Their goal is 8,000 - 10,000 cats sterilized.
Our feeders, as well as all concerned, have had many questions/concerns which have not been put into a useful form of
response. ARNO is trying to collect those specific concerns or questions on this upcoming program from our feeders and colony
caretakers in order to respond collectively.
FEEDERS & CARETAKERS, SEND QUESTIONS/CONCERNS TO: arnoinfo@cox.net
Type in subject line: FEEDER or CARETAKER
TELL US:
• Where you are feeding
• Section number or which neighborhood in Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard or Plaquemines
This information will also help ARNO verify how much dry cat food is still needed in our area.

5. Please Help To Outlaw Declawing
SOURCE: Susan Meyer, susankiwikiwi@hotmail.com
Please sign this petition linked to below to outlaw declawing. It is a cruel and inhumane practice. Animals need their claws for their
protection and balance. I always cringed when a pet missing in NOLA was listed as declawed. I feared that the animal must have
perished with no means for protection.

7. "New Year's Dane" Dog Painting for Dog Rescue
SOURCE: Susan Meyer, susankiwikiwi@hotmail.com
New Year's Dane Tile from the Paw Blossoms series by Dog-Artist Mozart/CHARITY AUCTION for Great Dane Rescue —
This beautiful paw-painting is the latest from the Paw Blossoms series of paintings on tile by Great Dane Mozart. Mozart was sold
at an Amish dog auction by a puppy miller then soon after was dumped by the buyer. Harlequin Haven came to Mozart's rescue.
New Year's Dane is influenced by Russian Fauvist Marc Chagall. The abstract images in navy blue, robin's egg blue, and brown
symbolize a hope for good things in the coming new year. A hope for puppy mills to no longer exist as well as Mozart's wish to be
adopted into a forever home.
Mozart paints with his paws to express his feelings as well as to get the word out that puppy mills are cruel. He stresses that you must not forget what happened to him, or it will continue to happen…
