Hello again Everyone,
Here's a quick update: I'm going down to Alabama, and I'm bringing donations from New York City with me to help the animals in both Birmingham, Alabama & Tuscaloosa, Alabama!
Operation Toto Relief is now underway!
Today, I was able to to get Animal Haven Shelter in New York City onboard to be the location for drop-off donations.
So, if you're living in NYC or live within the surrounding states; you are able to send donations to the following address:
Animal Haven
C/O Operation Toto Relief
251 Centre Street
New York, NY 10013
(212) 274-8511
Drop-offs can start today (April 29th) and will run to Friday, May 6th. Donors are asked to donate between the hours of:
1-6pm on weekdays, and 12-5pm on weekends.
I'll then be packing up all the donations collected at Animal Haven in a truck to transport them down to Canant's Veterinary Hospital in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The plan is then to distribute aid accordingly to these surrounding shelters and clinics: Metro Animal Shelter and the Humane Society of West Alabama. I'm hopeful to do on-site distribution to families in the devastated areas, and really hope to provide a boost to the area.
At 3:30pm EST today (April 29th) I was on the phone with Dr. Paul Bronold again at Canant's Veterinary Hospital. The updates from Dr. Bronold were still gloomy, but some of the updates were positive. The main point that Bronold made to me was that these animal facilities are at maximum capacity. Families are coming in asking for food and blankets for their pups.
Once again, if you'd like to send donations directly to the shelter, please send them to:
Canant Veterinary Hospital
Operation: Toto Relief
C/O Dr. Jimmy Canant
1100 Rice Valley Road
Tuscaloosa, AL 35406
I will keep Everyone posted on this relief effort, I'm looking forward to making this trip down South!
