Agility Dog Association of Australia Ltd

From the ADAA Chair ... Extreme Weather Conditions 2011

Many of our members in Qld, and some in NSW, VIC, SA and WA have been or will be affected by floods and extreme weather conditions in 2011.  On behalf of all members, all of our best wishes and thoughts are with you, your family and pets. Please keep yourself safe - property can always be replaced, but lives can't.

The Agility community, especially our ADAA members, is a strong and supportive one. Please know that there are many other members who are willing and ready to step up and provide support, whether that's immediate or longer term.

Many 'standard' support services are geared towards people and cannot always assist those with animals. If you need assistance, whether that's someone who can provide temporary assistance to accommodate you and/or pets, transportation, clean up, or whatever feel free to put a notice on ADAAchat, hopefully there will be someone else in a position to provide that assistance as you need it.

Thoughts are with you all.
