SHELBY, NC--In an effort to provide aid to the people and
organizations that are currently working to rescue horses in the
areas devastated by Hurricane Katrina, Stolen Horse International
(SHI), has established a link, Katrina's Missing Pets, on its
website, www.netposse.com. The purpose of this link is to centralize
Internet efforts in reuniting horses and owners. This is a FREE
LISTING service!

"The images seen and the stories we have heard have consumed us in
the wake of Hurricane Katrina. We would like to help the best we
can. We invite anyone who is missing a horse or a pet to post their
information on our site. We will be glad to assist rescues
organizations by giving the animals a place to be seen by the
public." said Debi Metcalfe, Foundation President.

Metcalfe continues, "Stolen Horse International does not have a team
to send to the areas of devastation. This is our way of helping so
that rescue crews can concentrate on finding and caring for the
horses and other animals."

Stolen Horse International is currently accepting listings for all
misplaced animals in all areas affected by the hurricane. We are
requesting that organizations and individuals rescuing horses or
those missing horses utilize these services in order to reunite
horses and owners as quickly and efficiently as possible. We will
also post other lost and found animals such as dogs and cats.

Since 1998, SHI, has worked tirelessly to promote education and
prevention of horse theft, and aid in the recovery of stolen and
missing horses. SHI has never charged victims for its services, and
it will continue this mission for those affected by Natural Disasters.

If you have any questions or would like to make a donation, please
call Angela Kirby, at (334)613-6276 (days) and (334)669-0933
(evenings).

Thank you for your help in spreading the word to those in need and to those who
can help!
