Hello all,

We are really being hit from every direction it seems - the phrase out of
the frying pan and into the fire is definitely coming to mind!

Our sanctuary - east of Willits in Mendocino County has a wildfire
approaching that is only 5% contained.  We have ~200 animals there.

The area shelters and rescue sites are already filling due to the amount of
displaced livestock and pets - so we need to appeal to our friends,
volunteers and foster homes in the Bay Area to help!  I believe we have
housing opportunities for our dogs in Sonoma and surrounding areas - and can
house our cats or many of them at least at our facility in Marin - though we
will need to ask for
volunteers to help care for the dogs - and the cats!

Transport -- if you have a big vehicle and can handle animals, we need you!
Animal Care -- we have several locations where the animals can go in Santa
Rosa and San Rafael -- we will need volunteers able to assist with care and
feeding.  Foster Care -- we are looking for foster homes for the animals.

If you can help, please contact Lynne at lat at milofoundation.org

Let's hope it doesn't come to this - I will have an update at 8PM.  We will
need a few good folks with large vehicles to drive if possible - we do have
offers from some organizations with vans, a winery with a 16' animal trailer
and others willing to help - able bodies that can handle large dogs, good
sized trucks and vans equipped with crates and ready to roll north towards
the Milo Sanctuary could be urgently needed in the next 24-48 hours!

Thanks, please let me know if you can help.  And if you can house a dog or a
few adult cats - we'll keep a list.  And volunteers in Marin and north bay
to Sonoma who can help - please let me know!

Thanks again very, very much,

Lynne
