    of Disaster Services for the Humane Society of the United States.

    Jane Berry of Rome, an emergency responder volunteer with the Humane Society, U.

Pets Finding refuge in Rome, too
(9/12/2005)

Illegible road signs “twisted like pretzels” and miles upon miles of empty gas pumps
could have prevented Rome’s Jane Berry from making it down to Louisiana this

The nonprofit group, which has been rescuing animals since December of 1999, has a number of volunteers
who help with retrieving, spay/neuter, adoptions, fund-raising and general visiting and cleaning. “We’re really a hands-on

"Two cat ladies" is how Jane Berry and Mary Kate Jorgenson (left), president and
vice president of The Sterile Feral, describe themselves when joking around together.

And it's really a perfect description these days. Since a meeting at the Rome Floyd
Humane Society function two years ago, the ladies have been working together to
help the cat community across Floyd county. Full Story....
