Carl Zagona, director of ERAS reports this morning. The shelter already has a couple inches of water in it and it’s still raining. He says the cats are ok since they are up off the floor, but I’m sure he would welcome a rescue for them. The urgent need is for the dogs! They have been transported to local vets for safe haven for now, but this is not a long term solution. Most of the dogs have “Guardian Angels” meaning their s/n has been paid for by donations. If you are a rescue or adopter and wish to help, please visit their website and take a look at the pics. You can adopt the dog and the s/n will be paid for. You won’t be out of pocket for anything. http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/TN360.html

Book Release for Elephant Sanctuary Carol Buckley's
TARRA & BELLA!
Elephant Sanctuary
804 Darbytown Rd.
Hohenwald, TN 38462
The unlikely friendship between the elephant and dog formed at The Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee, the nation's largest natural habitat for old, sick, and needy elephants, is available now in Sept. as a photographic picture book for young readers. TARRA & BELLA: The Elephant and Dog Who Became Best Friends has text and photography by Carol Buckley, Sanctuary president and co-founder.
Tarra was born in Burma in 1974. Shortly after Tarra's arrival in the US, the Asian elephant was declared an endangered species, and all future importation of Asian elephants into America was halted. For the next two decades, Tarra traveled throughout the world entertaining audiences in circus, amusement parks, zoos, on television, and in motion pictures with Carol Buckley.
On March 3, 1995, Tarra’s growing disenchantment with an entertainment lifestyle inspired the creation of The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee to rescue old, sick and needy elephants. While Tarra may not be aware of her influence, the Sanctuary has now grown to become the largest of its kind in the nation.
Operating on 2,700 acres in Hohenwald, Tennessee, The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee has been developed specifically to provide a place for traumatized elephants to recover from the debilitating experience of captivity.Visit website at www.elephants.com.
