1. California Fire Officials Won’t Let Woman Evacuate With Pets

REPLY TO: Jane Garrison, janegarrison@comcast.net

janegarrison@comcast.net writes, 9/27/06: URGENT- Can someone help? I just
got a frantic call from a woman's daughter in Lockwood Valley, CA
(Ventura/Los Angeles area). There are horrible fires going on and the woman
left her house yesterday morning to take one of her cats to the vet (who
subsequently had to be put down) and when she returned to her home she was
blocked by the fire department.

She has explained to them that she has 4 cats and 3 dogs in her house (one
dog who is insulin dependent) and she needs to evacuate them. They have
refused to let her back to her home even though her house is not in any
immediate danger. If she does not get back in her home either her animals
will die from starvation/dehydration or the house will eventually burn down.

PLEASE, if you have any contacts in that area or have any ideas please
contact me immediately: Jane Garrison, JaneGarrison@comcast.net

2. Funds Needed To Move Dog Victims Of Kentucky Flood
SOURCE: Liz Marshall <lizardmarsh@gmail.com>

Monetary contributions are graciously requested. Here is what Julia Sharp
says today Sunday 9/24 in her update: We do need funds for gas and the van
to get dogs to Chicago rescue. It's been rough. The dogs will be moved back
in the morning but we have some rescue offers and will be moving some out
IF we can raise the funds to rent a cargo van. We are so lucky we have a
decent dog warden here. Many KY wardens would have left the dogs to drown
but not Jimmy. He was also there early this morning, bleaching and scrubbing
it all down. It looks so clean right now. He took the forestry building dogs
back and will be moving them from Jan's and the vet's in the morning...

9/23/06 - Rowan Pound flooded - Note from Jan, who helped evacuate the dogs:
By the time we left, it was running out the front door and at least a foot
high inside the pound. We had to put the file cabinets, refrigerator etc on
top of the desk. We were concerned about getting out of there before the
road was closed.

Dogs were safely evacuated to the Rowan Vet Clinic, an old forestry building
on 519 and my barn/house. Jimmy Hale the dog warden, said this will really
finish off the foundation and cracks in the walls, as it was already getting
in bad shape. I'll keep you posted on what will happen in the next couple
days. Thanks, JAN

FYI - People in the photos are Jenny Lyons- assistant to the dog
warden,Jimmy Hale (warden) and helper loading the dogs for evacuation and
the road with the yellow ribbon across it is Bull Fork right next to the
entrance of the pound. Julia, Volunteer

9/24/06: Some of the dogs are back at the pound, the ones in the forestry
building. The others will be moved back tomorrow. Jimmy really worked super
hard to get the place bleached down and scrubbed up. Doggieangel

9/25/06: Julia, what a mess the flood made. Awesome work of Jimmy!!!! I am
so sorry you got hit bad with the floods. What a excellent bunch of loving,
caring people everyone was to pull together for these dogs once not cared
about! Bravo to you and everyone who helped out. I wish I was able to
something to help. P.S. hopefully you got, or will get, the 2 package ok
that I sent to you for the dogs. Many prayers and love. Debbie, Lombard IL
