- 8 of these were from Hurricane Katrina!
- 75% of rescues are surrendered by owners
- Many surrenders have genetic special needs
- The Quilt helps to fund THREE rescue groups
- Volunteers & Foster Homes always needed!
- Two Gift Shops feature Havanese Gift Items
- 501(c)3 Donations are Tax Deductible

Next month we'll begin feature our Rescue Dog of the month, announce FUNdraising events, and share a success story. We hope you enjoy it!

Lorraine Newland, an HRI volunteer, arrived at Lamar- Dixon in Gonzales, LA to assist in the care of the pets left behind. With the approach of Hurricane Rita, She was allowed to remove the animals to safety provided they kept all family groups together to make reunification easier. Lorraine headed out with Hurricane Rita on her heels with the 5 plus a Poodle, a Shih Tzu, and a smiling Pit Bull! A special thanks to Lorraine, as well as Paul Hohne who helped with the driving and care, Jenny French, Lu Wyland, Jane Hohne, and others. Already 4 have been reunited with their families. ASPCA has granted a Reunification Award for each dog, and IMOM has granted the Love Bug Award for our participation. Great job!

Mira crossed over the Rainbow Bridge on October 30, 2005 following her battle with Lymphoma. Mira was truly a rescue volunteer, and attended numerous display booths and state fairs with Lu. She touched so many lives. She'll be truly missed. Sincere thanks to the Independent Havanese Club for their Mira Fund to defray vet expenses. Donations gratefully accepted.

The Havanese Halloween costume party was an unqualified success! A photographer was on hand to capture the costume and the enjoyment had by all. It was an scary task, with awesome results! No bones about it! Sincere thanks to Joan Ambrose and Alison Brackman, and to all those attending for their monsterous generosity. That's the spirit!
