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.

KINGKing is a reddish chow about 6 yrs old. He has a white undertone and growls at just about everyone but his "mom"/guardian. His tongue is purple, and his tail curls. He weighed about 60lbs at the time of the Hurricane. King's "father" remained in New Orleans with the family's two dogs. They ended up on top of their house in their boat for a day and a half. King's guardian was not permitted to bring the dogs when he was rescued by a firefighter. One dog (Bear, BF#770), was found in Albany, NY and flown home. King has not been found. His guardians believe he may be the dog in PF30029 but this dog cannot be located. King's mom has been looking every day for her dog. King's owners lived in Arabi. They lost everything and all they want is to be reunited with their King again.
