How will money that I sent to WHS to help animal victims of Hurricane Katrina be spent?
All funds donated for animal relief are being used to directly benefit animals. $8,002 in financial donations collected by WHS for animals were sent to the SPCA of Houston, Texas because they provided the first refuge for animals evacuated from New Orleans. Many animals from Louisiana continue to be sent to that facility. Additional financial resources are being used to care for the animals that arrived with evacuees at State Fair Park in Milwaukee where WHS is maintaining a temporary shelter. Additional financial resources are being collected to send people and vehicles to help emergency shelters that are inundated with animals. Since all of the monies donated to Hurricane Katrina victims are being maintained in a separate fund, if additional resources remain, they will be sent to local shelters in the south that are providing care to evacuated animals.
