The American Spaniel Club Foundation establishes a match fund to help canine victims of Hurricane Katrina. CROSSVILLE, TN - The American Spaniel Club Foundation, Inc. announced a dollar-for-dollar matched fund to help meet the needs of dogs affected by the hurricane Katrina disaster. "The devastation is indescribable, and we are aware that federal and state resources will be stretched to cover the costs of human rescue and clean up," said American Spaniel Club Foundation Executive Director, Patricia Darke. "Providing help to those canine victims requires additional money. We are working to supplement those resources from the Cocker Spaniel fancy." Donated dollars to the Hurricane Katrina Canine Victim Relief Fund will be matched, up to $5,000, by the American Spaniel Club Foundation to double the amount collected, and sent to support the American Kennel Club crisis relief efforts.
