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.

ANGEL

(this dog is similar to, but is not, Angel)

DESCRIPTION:
Angel is a female black lab mix who is very friendly. She is mixed with chow and pit bull. She weighed 50 pounds, was about 4 years old at the time of Katrina,, and had a collar with a name and address (on Colonial Blvd) on it. She is very friendly with people, but not so great with other dogs.

CONTACT INFO:
Angel's owner passed away, and his sister is searching for Angel. She lived with her owner Steve above Baracuda's bar, which is a little past Violet on St. Bernard Highway. When his owner was evacuated to Lafayette General Hospital, he was not allowed to take Angel with him. If you think you have seen Angel, please contact Steve's sister Vicky Mocklin at 901-490-3809.
