| Two puppies that were displaced from the Rockaways play in their cage |
In steps the ASPCA. The organization negotiated a lease at $20,000 per month for provide a temporary home, a 20,000-square-foot emergency boarding center that opened over the weekend in a vacant warehouse in Ocean Hill, Brooklyn for family pets.
Run with affectionate precision by a team of disaster specialists from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the shelter housed 137 animals by Sunday evening and was expected to house a few hundred, if not more, before the week was out. The center can accommodate up to 700 animals, which are permitted to stay for 30 days free of charge, with full veterinary care, until their owners can reclaim them. The stories of families and pets bouncing from home to home putting greater stressors in their lives is heartbreaking. Mutts and cats don't understand what is going on so the stress is overwhelming to them
Rachel Ray, the celebrity chef, donated $500,000 toward the rent as well as food from her line of pet food to help defray costs. She really walks her talk! Read more here.

I ADORE Rachael Ray and this just gave me all the more reason to do so!
What a lovely thing to do!
Thank god of good people. Love to pets doesn´t know limits. Once I was on holidays in Argentina and I met a person who has in his
apartment in buenos aires 15 cats that he had recovered from the streets very ill. He was a regular guy with a regular job and live, not a crazy dude; but his love for animals was overwhelming.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful post with us. We hope that this helped with a lot of pets who were displaced during the hurricane. Thanks for sharing the informative information. Have a great day.
