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.

HUNTERUPDATE: We are saddened to learn to learn of Ms Faye Bourg's sudden passing. Faye, we know that one day you will be reunited with your beloved Hunter. Until then, may you rest in peace. (Update posted April 26, 2008) Here is a story about Hunter and Faye... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Microchip # 4xxxxxxxx8 A neutered male, long-nosed Pekinese mix, long body, short bowed front legs, front feet and elbows stick out, 25 lbs. Hunter is black with brown paws. He has a curled fluffy tail. Hunter was last seen at 1979 Sugarmill in lower St. Bernard. Hunter was Fay's service dog, he was her hearing aid. He should never have been separated from her. Hunter's owner Fay rode out the storm with her precious Hunter. The water came up over the roof; the ceiling fell on Fay. Rescuers handcuffed Faye even though she was in shock and dehydrated and had to spent a week in ICU after the rescue. Faye last saw Hunter paddling frantically after her as she was taken, handcuffed, away in the rescue boat. Hunter may have been taken to one of the schools, probably Beauregard Middle School. A collar resembling Hunter's was found at the school but his body was not found among the deceased found after the massacre.
