The Houston SPCA took 260 animals to Houston before Katrina hit, and also offered to take any pets for people and return them later.
It's great to see the response. I truly believe a lot of people stayed because they had no knowledge of resources for their pets. If nothing else, the time and manpower spent for those people after the flooding began would have been saved by helping them with their pets beforehand.
Thanks for this info. I just donated in the name of our little daschie's breeder that lives in southern Mississippi. We just found out that they and their pups are OK!
