    CRISIS! KY Tornado-Impacted Shelters Need Help! CROSSPOST!
    Please cross-post widely & network on Facebook!! NO CraigsList please.
    Please read the entire post. 3 counties are included in here.
    Best things to do right now: Send donations, and pull dogs from all 3 counties into your rescue. Communication may be sporadic. Cell phones may die and not be able to be recharged due to power outages. Please be patient if this happens. They will likely be inundated with emails once this gets spread around. Roads may be blocked. If you plan to go there to pull dogs, try to speak to someone in the county by phone to check on road conditions before you go.
    Kentucky counties hard hit by the tornadoes and seeking assistance:
    Morgan County KY:
    Donations can be sent to:
    Helping Hands for Animals, PO Box 309 , West Liberty , KY 41472
    Menifee County KY:

    Please designate the donation for either Menifee or Morgan County ...see explanation below.
    Mail checks to: Menifee County AS, PO Box 75 , Frenchburg , KY 40322
    There is a Chip-In for transport on the homepage of the STAR site:
    www.petfinder.com/shelters/KY251.html
    This is to move STAR current dogs out to rescues, in order to make room to intake Morgan dogs into STAR.
    See pleas for assistance below. Renee & Julia are writing this on the fly as everyone's scrambling to help down there. STAR in Morehead KY is also trying to move their current dogs out to rescues in order to make more room to intake some of the Morgan County dogs. STAR info is at the bottom of this email.

    @dcmclcm4: Since she was found as a stray, no knowledge if she has been around children. When she gets overly excited to see someone she can be mouthy since she is still young so probably no real young children. I get her to sit, direct her focus away from my hand and give her a nylabone chew toy. This usually works. She is learning how to sit with the hand signal for sit and almost has it learned. She is a fairly easy pill giver as she has not spit out a pill yet! She did a playbow today to the Bs to try to get them to play. My two middle Bs, Arnie-10 years old and Bambi-8 years old play with her. She can bark but is not overly barky. I feel she does need more socialization and I am planning on doing that this coming week when the weather is better. If you need additional information or have specific questons about her, let me know. Jennifer I will Jennifer, my friend is seriously considering it :)

    Thanks Sharron! I didnt even think of sending info on a mix to BRAT. Hopefully she can go to a home that will love her. Let us know if anything happens.
