I just got back from Lamar Dixon late last night and I will post later and share with you some of my experiences there (after I've had some rest time!!) but I wanted to pass this info along as soon as possible. One of the people on the search and rescue team I worked on would like to make himself available as a contact person there at the staging area since it is impossible to reach by phone. If anyone who is not able to come back & check on their pets themselves wishes to call him he said he would check the animals at the staging areas and see if their pets had been rescued yet and if not get the address where the pets were left and make sure it got to the search and rescue team in that area. This man is a real go-getter & WILL get things done! He has been there 2 weeks now, drove over from Texas and had to sleep on the ground the first week because there weren't any facilities for the volunteers yet. He is very dedicated and a wonderful caring person who will go out of his way to help others. His name is John Hardt and the phone number is 202-367-5592. Of course at the moment they are all hunkered down for Rita but if you need help call him, he really wants to help reunite the pets we've been rescuing with their owners.
