Drought conditons causing animal problems...how can we help the animals?

We here in Indiana are in a drought. "No burn" orders have been issued. Many people are having trouble with animals coming out of the woods or wherever looking for water. Racoons are in the garbage, mice in crawl spaces, etc. People are shooting them {#emotions_dlg.scared} and other animals to. I have a woods behind the house and have been tempted to carry buckets of water out to the edge but I don't want to wake up to a zoo in my back yard. I thought maybe we could get the garden tractor and wagon out and haul water farther back into the woods but my DH thinks it's a bad idea. It makes me sick to see the animals suffer like this. I have never experienced anything like it....have you????
