Carolina Canines
for Service together with Carolina Animal Relief Effort (C.A.R.E.) and numerous
businesses in and around Wilmington collaborated to bring 21 cats and 32
dogs from the Katrina heurricane region to Wilmington, NC. Animals began
arriving early October and will be initially cared for in a facility and
then placed into foster care while the owners of the animals are searched
for.
If owners are
ready to be reunited with their animals, transportation will be arranged
to return the animals to their owners. The goal is to identify and reunite
as many owners and animals as possible. |

Katrina Animal
Relief will place the animals in foster care for up to 180 days while working
to reunite the animal with it's owner. Hundreds of volunteers have come together
to care for the animals while in the facility working 3 shifts per day, 7
days a week to feed, walk, water, clean kennels and give the dogs and cats
much needed love and affection. Their daily care takes an average of 85 volunteer
hours! |

The relief effort
is supported financially by donations separate from Carolina Canines for
Service. Thanks to the generosity of many individuals and businesses providing
monetary or product donations. |

The real miracle
of this effort if the reuniting. Owners have been identified for 11 dogs
and at least 9 cats. Five of the dogs were transported to their owners on
October 30, 2005!! Many of the animals need foster care while their owners
seek new housing. And, the animals that owners have not been found will need
to be fostered. Animals will not be released for adoption until at least
January 15th, 2006. Foster applications for dogs or cats are available by
