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.

DESCRIPTION: Ali is a black and white Boston Terrier. At the time of Katrina he was about 7 months old and small, under 10 pounds. He has a small hernia on his belly. Ali's guardian is a Hurricane Katrina victim and when she returned to her home on Dalewood (Zip code 70126) she saw a letter saying he was rescued and sent to Lamar-Dixon. She went there only to discover that the shelter had closed down operations minutes before she arrived. This dog is posted at Petfinder (PF 35965 / LA 2240) and recognised by his owner, but there is no clue as to his whereabouts. Do you know where Ali could be? Contact: miss504neworleans@yahoo.com |
