Tawnya Lack and other volunteers with Lone Star Equine Rescue will leave for parts of Louisiana on Saturday to tend to and corral the thousands of horses, donkeys and mules abandoned after Hurricane Katrina.

The group will corral the horses to a designated facility under the guidance of the Louisiana State Veterinarian Office, where the animals will be checked in, treated, and their owners will try to be contacted

Lone Star Equine Rescue is accepting donations of hay, new halters, lead ropes, bandages and antiseptic. Even five-gallon cans of gas would be greatly appreciated. Donations for this all-volunteer effort can be dropped off at Southland Feed, U.S. 69 South in Jacksonville or 1201 N. Main St. in Rusk. Financial donations can be made at the organization's Web site, www.lser.org.
