From Jim Arnow:I've been here since Thursday, and the rest of the group arrived yesterday (Saturday.) In the four days I've been here, I've spent part of three of them volunteering at ARNO, Animal Rescue New Orleans. The people who work there are amazing and do a huge amount of work with very little. From what I understand, ARNO is the only no-kill shelter in the area and survives with no government funding.
I was honored to present a check on behalf of First Congregational Church and the people who donated at the Night in the French Quarter to Natalie, the Kennel Manager at ARNO. Natalie lives next door to the kennel in the industrial park where ARNO is located and, like everyone I've encountered there, is amazingly caring and dedicated to the cats and dogs they have housed in their cramped location. I'm attaching a picture of me handing her the check as well as a picture of the outside of the shelter.
