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.

REDRed belongs to Carol Gonzales and her family. Her husband stayed through Katrina and was helping to rescue his neighbors with his chow, Red, when authorities commandeered his boat and made him put Red out onto the highway at Chef Menteur and Read. Red is 5 years old, was intact, and his left ear is damaged and flops forward. There is no black color on him except his nose and tongue. His right eye may have a cataract. Contact: Please respond to carolway@msn.com only if you find a dog that looks like this picture which was taken on the day Red was released. |
