Wet dogs and cats need your help

Much is happening this week as Xavier University students collect money for animals whose lives have been affected by the devastating destruction of Hurricane Katrina.

By the end of the week, the money donated from generous students will have been collected by Advocates for Animals at Xavier and given to a relief effort headed to the Gulf Coast.

All of the donations will arrive there thanks to a local group known as Four Women for Animals.
