The Pets Evacuation and Transportation

state and local emergency plans address the
needs of individuals with household pets and
service animals.

GOHSEP, LSART and the parishes to practice our

The
Katrina Promise
When Katrina hit, an incredible group of dedicated volunteers went
to East New Orleans. Despite overwhelming devastation and
hardship they rescued over 3,000 pets. MuttShack operated
a MASH unit, pet shelter and an aggressive dog clinic run by Jim
Crosby, canine aggression specialist.
MuttShack then stayed and lobbied in support of Senator Fontenot's Pets
Act, winning the right for people to evacuate with their pets.
But the crisis is not over
The Act does not provide for all the supplies, equipment and
training that is necessary pre-storm.
Even though people will be evacuated with their pets, supplies and
trained volunteers are still desperately needed. Watch the
video and see how you can play a part.

St. Bernard Saved
from Death Row
Was it fate? Who knows,
but whatever made Jessica look on Craigslist this morning must be
the hand of Clunky's guardian angel. There he was, the St. Bernard
she had to give up in college two years earlier. Frantic, Jessica
jumped into her car and drove to Los Angeles from San Diego, only
to find that the previous owners had labeled Clunky aggressive,
and therefore he was not adoptable to the public, only to Rescue
Organizations.
Jessica hugs "Clunky" rescued hours before his euthanasia.
