training. If you are interested in receiving information on training to be a
member of the Humane Society Disaster Animal Rescue Teams (DART), please send an email
to disaster@hsus.org with "DART Training Information" in the subject line.
For ASPCA, contact your local organization. What you can do right now to help
animals affected by fire in Southern California's situation is send a

UPDATE ON SUPER ADOPTION
DEC. 12,
2005:
Very heartwarming time as one doggie, for example, came up to my chest for
a hug. See story, right, for more. Many amazing dogs and cats found new loving parents. But more still need
homes to make room so that the terrific rescue organizations can bring more
pets up from the Gulf, and provide more room there to help more local pets who
have been living such difficult lives in the wake of the horrible hurricanes.
You can help: : Some of the places in L.A. you can contact to adopt a pet

![](DonateDogSm.gif) In L.A., at Katrina
Super Adoption, from Pawprints volunteer Lisa Hough:
The most heart touching story I heard was of the woman who had lost her
fiancé the month prior. They were going to adopt a dog together. She
came Sunday, alone, to adopt the dog they had been looking for. When
she saw Grady, a large, older, Australian mix of some kind, and started
to pet him, she burst into tears. Grady was her dog. She knew it and
he knew it. she went outside and cried for 30 minutes or more before
she could come in and fill out the paperwork.
