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.

PORSCHE HAS BEEN FOUND!

DESCRIPTION:
Porsche is a sweet 5 year-old purebred spayed female Boxer with clipped ears, four white paws, a black mask, a docked tail, and a small squiggle of white on her chest. She knows her name. Porche lived in New Orleans prior to the storm, and she was boarded at an animal clinic on Elysian Fields Ave. as her owners were out of town when the hurricane hit and unable to get back.
