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.

KINDERDescription Kinder is a spayed female Rottweiler, 13 years old, black and brown. She has some surgery scars on her body that her guardian can be more specific about. She weighed about 65 pounds before Katrina. Her guardian's neighbour says he saw Kinder in his back yard
at 2210 Mercedes Boulevard in Algiers, two weeks after the hurricane
struck. The neighbour called the police who brought in animal rescuers. |
