DOGS Victoria helps bushfire victims

Pet owners in the eastern states of Australia having fought for survival during and in the aftermath of the bushfires that had ravaged the area in February are receiving a helping hand to take care of their dogs. A fundraiser conducted as an international virtual dog show by Australian’s Victoria Canine Association DOGS Victoria, having started in February, brought in a total $326,000. The money is supporting pet owners with the care of their dogs while the pet owners are rebuilding their homes or trying to find a new place to live.

DOGS Victoria has published a catalog of the dog show at its Web site. It contains the entries with the dogs’ names and their owners’ names. The catalog is accessible at:
