Terrible Tragedy In Jacksonville,fla., It makes me so sad........ Options

[ryancat]

Hello,all.It's been awhile since I've started a post of my own but today I just had to get my feelings out.I am so sad today...I live in St. Augustine,Fla. which is just south of Jacksonville,Fla. Last night they had a terrible fire in one of the Humane Society buildings there and many, many animals were lost.It said in the paper that dozens of cats were lost and several dogs too.Poor,sweet animals who didn't have a real chance to have a life.All they wanted was a good home and now they will never have one.I cried when I saw it on t.v. this morning so please if you will,send your best wishes and thoughts to the wonderful people who run that shelter.I know how hard they work and how much they love those animals.Those animals are like family to them! How sad it is to think of so many beautiful animals all going to the rainbow bridge together.It just breaks my heart that they couldn't save them.I will be praying for all of those affected by this tragedy and I hope you'll do the same.Hopefully they will be able to rebuild the shelter very soon so they can continue to help as many animals as possible.Sincerely,Renee (Sox's mom)

This is just terrible. Poor babies. I feel just sick thinking about what those babies last moments were like. I hope it was quick for them...I hope unconciousness set in from the smoke inhalation and they didn't know what happened. Were they able to save any at all? If so, how are they doing? Do they need funding for vet costs for the injured or is there a fund set up yet to help in the rebuilding process? Please let us know if there is anything that we can do to help them....
