Seattle, WA, September 11, 2008 --(
PR.com)-- The Animal Rescue Site raised more than $26,000 for International Fund for Animal Welfare’s rescue efforts and megashelter in Louisiana. Responding quickly to the need, The Animal Rescue Site began collecting donations within hours of Hurricane Gustav making landfall.
Using the Gifts That Give More™ program, The Animal Rescue Site was able to help visitors to the site to make a donation to IFAW’s efforts. Like the site’s other Gifts That Give More™, 100% of the donations will be given to IFAW.
At the height of the hurricane, IFAW’s megashelter in Shreveport, Louisiana, housed more than 1,300 pets, mostly animals whose owners were evacuated to other areas. The shelter and its residents rode out the storm safely and pets were returned to their owners as families moved back into the area.
