On the early morning hours of Dec 4, 2016 our sister LuAnn Pierce and her husband Chris Brown lost EVERYTHING in a house fire and literally escaped with the clothes on their back and 7 animals. They provided a home to numerous special needs animals of which 3 are still missing. They need IMMEDIATE help with lodging, animal food, litter, carriers, money, shoes, clothes, etc. LuAnn and Chris have provided help to so many people and animals in their lives, we are hoping our family and friends will help them to recovery from this devastating loss. Any help is appreciated no matter how small. Words cannot express our gratitude during this crisis. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for reading, helping and sharing.
Help spread the word!
LuAnn Pierce is involved with the CO Companion Animal Sanctuary
, and has posted here before asking for help on behalf of animals in need. If you can give a little back, that would be awesome! They are still missing 4 cats, one of which they are sure is outside. Once firefighters clear the scene, it will be easier to go search for them in the area.
From Joey Shimp:
If anyone would like to donate to the family that lost everything in the fire this morning. The amazing people at Crow Hill Bible Church behind Loaf and Jug in Bailey have agreed to be a central drop off location for the family. (63555 US HWY 285) 303-838-2259. Donation collection will begin tomorrow at 8 AM to 5 PM (they are not there this afternoon). Two adults, two dogs and several cats. Dog food, cat food, littler, pet carriers are needed.

Thank you for posting this!! I was just coming to post it! Let me know if anyone has any questions...I'm trying to compile as much info as I can, but they are still out looking for cats.
They also need pet beds, blankets,towels etc. for the animals. For themselves she just told me cash would work best for right now so they can get what they need and they have no place to put anything yet. They will be stopping by the Church tomorrow. Thanks again!!!

Here is the latest from the family!!! Our community does ROCK!!!
Yes, 3 cats still missing, this is a request from my friend:
I'm wondering if anybody locally has any feral cat houses that we could use. It is going to be really cold and snowing and it might be that we could lure them into the warmer areas with tuna or something. We got traps, but just thinking something warm would be nice. or something see if anybody might have any that we could use or would be willing to make them.
Also, please send money to evergreen vet or sano animal hosp to pay for food, medical and treatment for the animals. I believe they are all set for cages and supplies.
Here is the latest from my friend on Facebook: we will have three traps and three feral houses around the property. Thanks, alll!
This community is amazing...makes us want to rebuild and stay right here. thank you all, so much. Merlin and the others are safe, warm and we'll cared for with all your help. special props to Sheila Ricewatkins and Evergreen Animal Hosp. and Dr Palmini at Sano...amazing support and hands on help. Anyone who wants to help financially can send money to them for the supplies we are stocking up on there.
