Re: Therapy dog work in Illinois tornado disaster area
Update. We are loading up Hollywood and ourselves and headed for Washington, IL within a few hours. The ONE place that never crossed either of our minds to contact was the very organization that Hollywood belongs to. Therapy Dog International. It took some work and about 5 days but we got the green light and the contacts and are headed there shortly. They are letting us come back on Thanksgiving day as well which will be great. We would have like to have stayed multiple days/nights as they are putting dog owners up in a large home without furnishings and all you have to do is bring sleeping equipment. The only kicker was that a dog carrier/kennel is mandatory with NO exceptions. Unfortunately, they do NOT make a large enough portable carrier for him so that leaves us out. Oh well, driving back and forth will not hurt us. Thanks to all the PM's and emails from people who offered to help. WE APPRECIATE IT!
Rick, Annie and Hollywood
