Joss Stone helping pets affected by Hurricanes

Joss is getting down for the animals! She's helping North Shore Animal League America's efforts to bring attention to the plight of pets left homeless in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Joss said, "It is so frustrating and heartbreaking that the animals seem to be the ignored victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. We need people to lend a hand and help these beautiful pets reach safe shelter and find loving, caring new homes. I believe that once people are aware of the situation, New Yorkers will want to step up and open their hearts and homes to these amazing animals."

Joss completed a PSA, which is being distributed to more than 100 radio stations in the New York area, asking New Yorkers to help the League in its efforts to rescue and find loving homes for the thousands of abandoned and homeless pets in need during this unprecedented animal crisis.
