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.

JACQUES HAS BEEN FOUND!

DESCRIPTION:
Jacques is an all black neutered 3 year-old male lab/hound male dog. He has long legs and when he stands the top of his head is close to three feet. He has long ears, brown eyes, a long snout, and he has a history of hot spots on his stomach and legs. He sometimes get ear infections. Distinguishing characteristics include scars on (the owner thinks) his right, front leg. He also squats when he urinates. Jacques responds to most commands, and is very friendly and quite shy.

Jacques was last spotted on the roof of a St. Claude Heights School in Arabi, St. Bernard Parish, about a week after Katrina.
