Star listener Donna did some follow up on an incredible effort to resuce animals displaced by the flooding in Iowa.. Here is what she found.
They have thousands of animals!!! Dogs, and cats of course, and horses and rabbits, ect. They go out every day and bring in more animals that they find roaming around. It would be very difficult to get over there to help right now, and they have rescue volunteers there right now, but said to call in a week or 2 and see if they can use volunteers then. They asked for monetary donations. They expect to have to board these animals until August at least, and the donations usually go away after the initial crisis is over.
If you could get this info out so other people could send help to them too, I would appreciate it.
Here is the contact info I have:
