MuttShack Animal Rescue

This is an excerpt from the MuttShack website on their continuing efforts in Loisiana, both in helping with the flooded shelter in Denham Springs and in animal rescue:


In the past few weeks, the most dedicated MuttShack volunteers were seen cleaning up 5 days of dog poop from the shelter zone and transporting a truckload of cats off to Little Rock Arkansas for shelter, driving 19 hours round trip. Carpenter/Animal Rescuers repaired a section of the roof - living the phrase "cats on a hot tin roof".> Read more and see photos at Mutt Schack webpage
