Hi Andi,
Thanks for passing on the info re: the animal because I was unaware of
any organization that was doing relief work for animals. This is
definitely good news to hear because I have often been concerned about
what was happening with the animal situation. As you already noted,
to many of us, our pets are an extension of our family so this is
really good info to know.
Thanks again.
