Last night Best Friends participated in the first in a series of "Blog Calls" to discuss the rescue of pets displaced by hurricane Katrina. The idea behind a "Blog Call" is to invite bloggers to talk about issues and help spread the message around on the "net". Featured on the call were Michael Mountain, Paul Berry and Francis Battista from Best Friends, Jane Garrison from Animal Rescue New Orleans and Eric Rice from EricsDogBlog.com. The call was arranged by Joe Trippi, manager of the Howard Dean campaign and internet community building guru. If you have your own blog and would like to participate in the next "Blog Call" on this subject send an email to jordan-at-joetrippi.com.
Feel free to copy and send this around to all your friends! Let's help get the word out that the rescue is still ongoing! The animals still need our help!
And if you haven't yet signed Best Friends petition urging the national groups to release funds collected for the disaster, go now and sign it here:
