Muttshack is an animal rescue group that is working in LA to help prevent what happened after Katrina in 2005. Please view their video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHBRECU7vLE. I would like to say that FERRET is also offering support to Muttshack for any ferrets that are found or need assistance. Two ferret owners, Susann Theil and Debby Osbborne, are both trained to assist in animals in disaster situations. If YOU would like to be involved, there are several websites that let you know how and where to receive this training and with whom you can volunteer. What are your state requirements? Check out http://www.hsus.org/hsus_field/hsus_disaster_center/ for some great links. You can also check locally to determine what is available in your state.
