In an emergency, can you be there for us?

In an emergency, can you be there for us?
The fires in southern California and a nearby fire that cost the lives of 1,000 chicks (being raised for slaughter) have forced us to re-evaluate our current fire safety protocols. We want to give the rescued animals in our care the greatest chance at survival and, to do that, we need your help.
Emergency Transporters
Do you have a stock trailer? We need people who are willing to assist in the load-up and transport of sanctuary residents to a temporary holding site.
We will not be moving to Grass Valley until April 2010, so for now, we are looking for emergency transporters within 1-2 hours of our Vacaville facility.
Please note: While we do appreciate offers of personal help, we must limit the number of people who enter the properties. Please only contact us if you have a stock trailer or can refer us to someone who does.

Temporary Housing
To ensure we do not take up space at large animal evacuation sites, we are seeking temporary housing facilities for cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, turkeys, rabbits and potbellied pigs. We are particularly concerned about finding safe, temporary housing for our large pigs.
Animal Place staff and volunteers would be completely responsible for the care and management of animals, we are only asking for temporary living quarters during an emergency evacuation.
Temporary housing facilities must be within 60 miles of our Vacaville location.
If you think you have space available, please contact us with the following:

Species that you can accommodate (cattle, goats, sheep, large pigs, potbellied pigs, chickens, turkeys, rabbits):

Crate Donations
Many of the sanctuary residents must be crated for transport, including rabbits, chickens, turkeys and possibly potbellied pigs. As of now, we do not have enough carriers and crates to easily move all of the animals.
If you have a sturdy dog or cat carrier that is in good working condition, please contact us. Collapsible crates are preferred. We are also interested in cardboard cat carriers that can be easily stored.
Email us with the following information:

Can you deliver the crates or do you need them picked up:
Lead Ropes and Halters
Do you have used halters or lead ropes that are in good working condition? We are looking for sturdy goat, sheep and cattle head halters and/or lead ropes.
If you have any available for donation, please email us the details.
Please note: All in-kind donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law.
