Best Friends Animal Society
Best Friends Animal Society has set up a hurricane relief fund for the animal victims of Hurricane Katrina. The organization is playing a crucial role in coordinating animal rescue work in areas devastated by the storm as cleanup efforts begin along the Gulf Coast.

D.E.L.T.A. Rescue
D.E.L.T.A. Rescue is focused on feeding the animal survivors of Hurricane Katrina, who are in danger of starving. The organization manufactures its own dry dog and cat food, which it is sending by the truckload to areas where survivors have been evacuated. The food will be distributed to animals by disaster relief workers already giving out human food.

Houston SPCA
The Houston SPCA has received more than 900 animal victims of Hurricane Katrina. They opened their doors to 263 canines and felines from the Louisiana SPCA before the storm hit and have now accepted animals from evacuees at the Houston Astrodome, Reliant Arena and George R. Brown Convention Center. They anticipate hundreds if not thousands more in the coming days and weeks. Monetary donations are needed to help them care for the hundreds of extra animals in their shelter now and those they will be taking in and caring for in the coming weeks and months.

The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS)
As one would expect from one of America's most well-known and respected animal organizations, the HSUS was one of the first groups on the scene after Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast. Their highly trained Disaster Animal Response Teams have been in New Orleans and Mississippi coordinating a multi-state animal rescue and recovery effort since the early days of the disaster. The HSUS relies on your donations for its entire animal relief effort.

International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW)
IFAW, one of the world's premiere animal rights organizations, has started a Hurricane Katrina Animal Rescue emergency campaign to fund their rescue efforts in the Gulf Coast. They are working closely with the United Animal Nations' Emergency Animal Rescue Service and Code 3 Associates to help save animals trapped by floodwaters in New Orleans.

The Louisiana SPCA
The Louisiana SPCA was hit hard by Hurricane Katrina, but their dedication to the animals under their care has never wavered. They are working hard to save as many animals as possible, but can't continue to do so without your donations.
