THANK YOU RICHARD for posting that link! YES, I live close to Baton Rouge (20 miles or less, 50 to 60 miles from New Orleans), 2000 of them were taken to a place not to far from me, to a large center where my Grand daughter got married last October, so it is close to home for me. All the local TV's say 30 days... One said last night that one has to be closed by the end of September and cleaned completely by Oct. 5 for some event scheduled there. The number of CLAIMED pets went 600 yesterday, the numbers are going up so that is good news.

RICHARD, that link showed me that maybe so many are not doomed and I do feel better about that.

They are trying to adopt out as many as they can but our local shelters and rescue groups are bulging with adoptable pets that they have been having problems finding homes for before this happened. The only hope for these pets is for them to be taken out of this area by rescue groups and good hearted people that are willing to help, like that person in that article Richard posted. I have not been to Lamar Dixon to see those pets because I know I would want to bring them all home with me and I would just sit there and cry for them all. I can't foster any because of how I work.

Believe me folks, on the Baton Rouge TV, they ARE saying 30 days! (I watch it every day!)
