I've been sitting here for days trying to think of what I can do to help the victims (including the animals) of Katrina. I just read Cindy's post, and I have to say: Cindy you're brilliant!!! I would LOVE to help with something like this! E-mail me personally if you want. We should try & do this! Is anyone else interested in participating in this? 
Also on a sad note, I know this isn't piggie related but I'm going to post a story I read on several rescue sites:
The following paragraph explains why I'm looking for Snowball:
"NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (AP) -- At the front of the line, the weary 
refugees 
waded through ankle-deep water, grabbed a bottle of water from state 
troopers and happily hopped on buses that would deliver them from the 
horrendous conditions of the Superdome.
Many people had dogs and they cannot take them on the bus. A police officer 
took one from a little boy, who cried until he vomited. "Snowball, 
snowball," he cried. The policeman told a reporter he didn't know what 
would 
happen to the dog."
I have no description, but imagine the dog must be white with the name 
Snowball. I will foster the dog, arrange & pay for its care, whatever it 
takes to save this dog for the little boy. The policeman who was at the 
Superdome on Thursday, September 1st when the dog was taken may know more. 
If you have or come across any information, please contact me. Thank you.

Five_State_Rescue - $500 REWARD for return of SNOWBALL to his young owner - 
New Orleans
I had nightmares last night after reading about a tiny white Bichon being 
torn from a little boy's arms because it was not allowed to get on a rescue 
bus.
This dog may end up in a shelter, rescue group, or found by an individual. 
If this dog can be returned to the little boy and confirmed, I will pay a 
$500 reward.

I know this is a long shot, but I thought maybe someone who didn't read this e-mail would see it & maybe know something. I know that's crazy, but my heart just broke for this little boy.
