Earlier today I spoke to Carter Luke, Executive Vice President at the MSPCA-Angell in Boston. Luke is managing the entire logistical operation for bringing these animals to Massachusetts and was able to give me the latest news regarding bringing animals displaced by Hurricane Katrina to Massachusetts. The news looks good.

According to Luke, a few hundred animals will be arriving in Massachusetts soon. It is likely that they will be flown in and housed at a local facility for the required 48 hours before being moved to shelters. Luke could not give me an exact date, but my impression is these animals will be arriving in the next week to ten days.

This is where you come in—he requested to use our database of foster/adoptive homes and volunteers. This effort has taken time and we appreciate your patience. As soon as we have more details, we will let you know.

In addition, we want to thank Carter Luke for taking time from his very busy day to touch base with us.
