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.

PEANUT"Please help! My son was in St. Bernard Parish during Hurricane Katrina. Although he was able to get out four days after the storm, he was unable to take his puppy with him. She was in an upstairs apartment on Paris Road in Chalmette and was safe. When checking for survivors, the apartment was opened and his puppy, along with two min pins, escaped. The min pins were recovered in Gonzalez, LA but Peanut has not been found as of yet. Peanut is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier born 2/10/05. I have attached a picture of her in a boat after the hurricane. She has an elongated white diamond on her nape and her tail is light brindle with a white tip. If anyone can help me locate her for my son, I would be extremely grateful. I can be contacted via email at peanutmontero@yahoo.com or via cell phone at 504-453-1399. We have lost everything, our home, car, etc with 15 ft. of water......I don't want to lose her too!" Thank You! |
