"The animals need the help desperately.  So, please come out and support us and support the animals," said Donelle Hartman, owner of Lost Pawz.

"Anybody that's a contractor, anybody that's handy, please come out and help us.  Maybe donate material, donate your time, anything you can give would be wonderful right now," said Bridgett Schroder, an employee at BAE Systems.
