Animals in need due to the Iowa flooding

We live about an hour south of Iowa City where so much flooding has been going on. Cedar Rapids is an hour and a half north of here.

Today I read in CCNMoney.com that Petsmart Charities is helping with emergency pet supplies for the animals that are in need in those areas:

"PetSmart Charities will dispatch its Emergency Relief Waggin' stocked with emergency pet supplies to Cedar Rapids, Iowa today to help the pet victims of recent flooding. The 53-foot trailer contains enough pet products, food and supplies to support up to 500 companion animals."

Once again Petsmart Charities to the rescue...they are really doing some great work on behalf of animals in southeastern Iowa.

Rescue Waggin' Comes to Iowa

For the past 4 years I have been volunteer spay/neuter coordinator for Noah's Ark Animal Foundation in Fairfield, IA. There is a small group of very dedicated people who are doing wonderful work helping animals in this area. I never cease to be amazed at what people can accomplish when they work together for a higher purpose.

We had some especially great news this month.

Petsmart Charities Rescue Waggin' accepted Noah's Ark into their program. Rescue Waggin' is a program that was started three years ago. They take dogs from overcrowded shelters in the midwest and northeast and then transport them to shelters in cities where the demand for adoptable dogs is high. Since they started this program, over 13,000 dogs have been transported and adopted!

The Waggin' will be transporting Noah's Ark dogs to the Wisconsin Humane Society in Milwaukee, WI. Unbelievably, the wait time for adoption at this shelter is only 24-48 hours.

Noah's Ark is the first shelter in Iowa to become part of the Waggin'.

Well done everyone......
