Animal situation...
Here we are 20 months after the storm, and animal issues are still being addressed. BucksMont Katrina Animal Project has made a formal proposal to Hancock county Board of Supervisors, to construct a 1.5 million dollar shelter for domestic animals, that will include spay and neuter facility, adoption education, and eventually a transporting initiative so that these healthy animals get the chance to live long, healthy lives. Once a suitable site is chosen, construction will begin.
In the meantime, there are over 700 dogs and 1000 cats that are in need of transport, out of Hancock County to areas outside the hurricane zone. These animals are being kept by residents, some kenneling up to 100 dogs, on private, residential property. They are being well cared for, but it has been a time consuming, and expensive effort. With the recent animal food recall, it has made it very difficult and expensive to feed and care for these animals. Another hurricane season is upon us and CAN-DO would like to coordinate with grass root animal rescue groups to transfer these animals out of the gulf region,to relieve the stress on the residents and get these animals to permanent humane settings.
CAN-DO’s solution…
