Welcome!
These are only some of the pets that became separated from their owners after Hurricane Katrina or Rita. Some were definitely rescued and either adopted out or "lost in the system,"some escaped and are believed to be roaming in their neighborhood, and others fate is uncertain.
If you believe that the pet you adopted or rescued might be a Katrina pet whose owner is missing it, please look through these images, and the images at various sites at the "More Pets" link above. There was much confusion in Katrina/Rita's aftermath and not all pets identified as as "owner surrender" when they were adopted out actually were. Some animals classified as "stray" were actually owned and had become separated from their guardian.
In Memoriam:
Alex is a 4.5 year old intact male lab/chow mix. He has reddish brown fur with white on his muzzle. His most distinguishing characteristic is his spotted tongue (like a Chow's). He is short-haired with a long tail that is tender in the middle: there are some black/white hairs around the middle of his tail where he was injured. He has a broad neck/shoulders and is skinnier toward the back. He weighed 65 pounds when Katrina hit. He responds to the name "Alex" or to the name "Poodle" (a pit bull companion who was also lost in Katrina)
