NutMeg Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Our house burned down to the ground on Tuesday in Elizabeth NJ on Monroe Ave. You can google the news. The fire alarms never went off. Our dogs barked and saved our lives but we had moments to get out as the fire consumed half of the house before we knew. My husband passed out in the house trying to save anyone he could try to and was dragged out my neighbors. I was able to grab 2 of my dogs and Lucky. My other dog escaped but we are pretty sure our other dog died in the fire along with my Macaw, Amazon, and many other rescued exotics. We have nothing to our name. Lucky is in a temporary cage that is no good for her but I managed to get some food, a perch , food and water bowl and a toy. My dogs have nothing but food. I got a little help from the red cross but my animals really need help. I am going to try and see if Bird Paradise in NJ can set up a link for donations for Lucky. IN the meantime she eats Zupreem natural pellets, Harrisons adult fine and pepper, She could use perches and toys etc. Or if you can even donate to a new or used cage donations can be sent via paypal to PJRIspoli@gmail.com Dogs can use beds, toys, food, leashes, bowls, anything dog related. Swee-pea is a medium Pit, Ping is a 114 rottie, and chou-chou is a 10 lb pom. Please if you can help anything is appreciated. Please I am looking for help for them. My sisters are working on getting us clothes and basics and I have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NutMeg Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 I appreciate anyone offering to help her. I have limited access to internet so I will leave our temp address here. We are staying and can relieve mail at Meg Rispoli 21 Hillside Ave Belvidere NJ 07823 I have contacted Bird Paradise but no response from the owner via Email. The workers there know of whats going on though,. You can call Chris ( she takes care of the internet orders) and ask her how to help as well.
