The poor dogs that got left behind alot of people had no choice but to leave them but some people just thought that they were just animals but really pats are family
I go to NOLA every year to build houses and last time I got a day to go to the french quarter I went into Winn Dixie and met a beautiful young cat that they had saved after Katrina and she was the local celebrity. Fantastic pet store and the cat is a real charmer! I can't wait to go back... I miss NOLA more then anything... being a college student on the other side of the country makes me ache for my real home.
this is so sad but the good news is that I adopted a dog born in the after math of Hurricane Katrina. she wa sin the Humane sociaety in Lake County Indiana. She had mange, tics, ear mites and brwon tic fever. But money can heal all wounds now she was gained 50 pounds and has a great home!!!
I would never leave my dog behind. He was in this disaster as a 26 day-old puppy and we adopted him. He is a water dog but hates water after what happened to him there. I will NEVER leave my Rudy behind!
I would Never leave my animals behind. I would do anything for them. Even if they said I couldnt take them with. I would find a way to take them. So Whoever said you werent aloud to take them... Think...If you loved your pets as much as I do or others do. You would find a way.

@dudettes1234 What kind of cat, male, female? Age? Do you have pics of him/her? I'm fostering a cat that I brought back with me after 10 days of volunteering at Camp Katrina.
great video. whenever there's a natural disaster, they never talk about the animals that were killed and injured and left behind in the news. They forget about these animals that suffered what the humans suffered, too. Its just touching and beautiful when volunteers and animal rescuers risk their lives to save those that can't save themselves. Thanks for the video.
Thank you...your video brought tears, and, yet, hope to me at the same time. Let the people NEVER allow the damn government to make them leave their animal's behind EVER again. I would never abandon a creature who trusted, and needed me...
MAY GOD GREATLY bLESS THOSE WHO DEVOTE THEIR LIVES TO HELPING OTHERS. PPL LIKE THESE MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN THIS STRANGE WORLD WHERE SOMETIMES ALL LOSES LOGIC AND LIFE SEEMS ALMOST UNLIVAbLE.
We were fortunate enough to adopt a Katrina Rescue, and Argentine Mastiff, Max. He was so ill when we adopted but with the compassion shown by Dr. Karen and 11th Hour Rescue, he's a happy and healthy boy. He's brought so much joy to our lives, he's gained 30lbs, and gets his daily hugs and kisses, I am so grateful that I have been given the opprotunity to be his caretaker for the rest of his life.
*sniffles* i wish i could have a farm with alot of different animals. i hate how people treat animals sometimes =\ its mean. i wish everyone that killed or abused animals went to jail. some just get away with it. i wanna be a vet or animal rescuer when im older
Well actually if fido was there they may have protect them from rape . If no baby formula use your breast and yes I would have save my dog .... HOOOOOOO funny the last Hurrican they did it so How hard was it . My animal would have been with me the all time they are part of the familly .I dont have animal just for fun of it I have them to give love to them like the rest of my familly. If it wasnt the case I woulndt have any.
I cry every time I think about the scenario of people having to leave their pets. I was not far from Katrina; I live in Baton Rouge. Some people stayed because they would NOT (absolutely refused) leave their loved animals and make them endure such suffering alone. Unfortunately, a few died in such ways. I thank anyone and everyone who helped rescue all the pets of Katrina; and hopefully Gustav doesn't hurt as much as Katrina.
@happymike44 These SOB's at Camp Katrina are the ones that stole my dog my neighbor saw them take his collar off and throw his tags down! They called themselves the rouge rescuers. Most of the dogs the took from homes were never seen again and they never kept track of them. I heard those people at CAMPKATRINA were all doing drugs and having sex these were a bunch of those radicals that thought they could come to New Orleans and do whatever the hell they wanted!! We will never see our boy again!

@happymike44 Hello, Im new to the utube thing, but wanted to say that we were a part of this rescue also. We are located in northcentral Indiana. I do have pictures of the dogs/puppies we brought into our rescue. Im not sure how to post them to be seen. God bless all who helped these poor animals!!!!
@happymike44 there is a documentary on this, they would rescue people against their will and leave their dogs behind. One could not choose the option to stay behind with their pet, such a sad story.
Animal Rescue NEw Orleans -- ARNO -- is working STILL -- three years later -- to put the animal and pet and homan community back together in wake of the Storm. These humans and doggies are so truly amazing. Rock on, ARNO. don't ever stop. The world needs you so much. Love, Your PaLs, LuLu and LoLLy
I dont understand how can people just leave without them . I know shelters may not accept them but if you come with your animal what other choice do they have . If everyone asking to put them someone or bring their cage . Anyways very sad video lucky thing some came jsut to rescue the animal ...
My (animal lover) heart aches to watch this vid. Wonder where these beautiful animals have been placed. Hope they have wonderful homes and the people that they have been owned by give them the love that they deserve.
There are no words to express how this video moved me. Thank you so much for your tireless efforts to save those precious animals left behind. It is generous and loving hearts like yours that renew my faith in the human race. God bless all of you.
i was part of this alongside of the Animal Rescue League and i'm tears now because i remember all the tears and exhaustion but i remember the hope. I remember watching a lab swim in the water towing a board with a family of stranded cats on it and the dog died and drowned.....i hope that no one ever forgets what happened.
gosh it just brought tears to my eyes...animals are just absolutely amazing and just offer unconditional love, thats just too bad. animals are just as important, animals can save us to in times of disaster, all my love and care to animals
I wanted so badly to come and help but i just wasn't old enough.. i was only 15 but i feel for these animals and want to thank you all so much for what you did helping them.Your all angels so thank you!!
Important message for all humanity to pay close attention to. Animals can save us
in times of disasters. They are great companions and need love just as much as humans. If you ever need my help just ask if you ever see me in person. much love shadowknight
This video and all others like this make me so sad, and happy. I work at rocky mountain chocolate factory in medicine hat, alberta. and at chistmas time we raffeled off a $400 chocolate santa! the funds raised went to our local S.O.S and we helped get a katrina dog sergury. i cried when we got a thank you card from her and i thaught about how little we did, and how much more we all could have done.
God bless you. Poor animals, most of them were abandonated by their owners. But, because of you, they had another chance to live and be happy. The video made me shead a tear. I hope you keep doing this work.
Asahu,most of the pets were not abandoned by choice.People in that area are used to storms,so they thought they'd be away for a day &left food(I know,I wouldn't do that but...)& others were forced out by armed soldiers.Others went into copters(no pets allowed).Now the laws changed.Pets have to be allowed when they evacuate any area.Thank God.If I was in Katrina,NO WAY would I lve my cats!I'd be dead now, probably.I'd never leave them!!!
Beautiful video, brought back a lot of memories. I volunteered there as well, and it was the most wonderful experience of my life. Sad, but wonderful. So many people showed up there from all over the country, and we all worked together absent of egos or conflict. Closest thing to Utopia that I have ever experienced.
We need an animal rescue organization in every country ...Sadly people doesn't understand that animals need protection because they have no way to choose , like us , humans...
Wow. Thank you so much for sharing. I was moved to tears. God bless all those who came to the aid of the often forgotten animals in the aftermath of Katrina. I donated to the humane society's relief effort & am glad to see so much good being done.
THANK GOD FOR YOU RESCUERS!I tried to go there,as I to t/n/r,but I'm from NYC,dont drive,no camping gear, no go.I gave lots of money instead,&had others give. THANK GOD FOR YOU.If any of my cats were there,I don't know what I would do.They are my family!
i stand and sulute you all. i wish i had the means to have been able to travel and help when this happened. this was so hard to deal with,just to sit back and be so far away and not being there. you guys that busted your asses and did a GREAT job. hugs to you all.. < from an animal rescuer/fosterer to all others..> god bless Joanne M <Pgh,Pa.>
what a sad video. All those poor darlings who probably didn't have a home to come collect them. Thank god you people who helped them are there to do the amazing job you do and did. I cant stop crying for the poor things.
Just imagine how it must feel for them to be left by their owners (I don´t call those who left their pets bad people because it´s right to save your own life) and then that Hurricane. And it´s all our fault.
Before you make comments like that please know the situation. Many people DID DIE because they chose to stay with their pets.
I'm the one that made this video and I was down there and heard owner's stories. People WEREN'T ALLOWED to take their pets on the buses leaving the city...OR into the shelters.
Please don't call people stupid...it shows how ignorant you really are about what went on down there.
wow you are so right if I lived in new orlands I woulda been the one that died because of staying with my pet!!! Thank you for making this video...it really made me realize that theres still hope for all these pets..:]
I would Never leave my animals behind. I would do anything for them. Even if they said I couldnt take them with. I would find a way to take them. So Whoever said you werent aloud to take them... Think...If you loved your pets as much as I do or others do. You would find a way.
After seeing the effects this hurricane had on the animals, we need to contact our local officials and make sure there is a better emergency response specifically for animals in times of need.
there is now a law in the gulf states that requires animal evac be allowed with pet owners. we fought hard for it & we got it. now all evac plans INCLUDE pets. shelters and hotels and evac plans are to provide for pets now. thank gawd! i worked for the HSPCA & was to go help with rescue efforts in new orleans but plans for me were diverted. i am still angry i wasn't able to go help.
Following Katrina, the Humane Society forced the government to pass a law saying that any evacuation must include the pets. It also says that if an owner leaves a pet during an evacuation, they can be brought up on abandonment charges. It is illegal to abandon any pet, and now, even during evacuation.
i agree with mutleycrew if u own an animal you take care of them for life their living creatures as well just because ur in danger doesn't mean their not they can die as well as you...i cant believe pple just go off by themselves leaving the poor animals behind...
I couldn't watch past the 4th photo. I'm sobbing.
My best friend ever was put to sleep last year for the pain she experienced trying to stand up on her haunches, she was a 18 year old German Shepherd. I'd have preferred to go with her. I think this is so sad.
Hi...the sad part is the animals weren't left behind willingly. Their owners were not allowed to take them with them. If they got them to the bridge they were forced (at gun point) to leave them on the bridge while the owners were forced on the buses. That's why we worked so hard on the "No Pet Left Behind" legislation after we got back from there.
AWWW!! I wish i could have been there to help those poor animals out :o( It makes me want to cry! Animals depend on people to take care of them and then and then they just got left behind .. so sad :o(
I adopted a Katrina Dog a year ago, I'm blessed, and thanks to all who helped. I would like to find out what my baby went through... maybe not. They told me he was surrendered by owner... Any clues?
'blessed are the merciful'...god bless you wonderful people, my heart goes out to those poor abandoned dogs. I don't understand how anyone could leave a dog behind like that, the thought makes me sick...
The poor dogs that got left behind alot of people had no choice but to leave them but some people just thought that they were just animals but really pats are family

Many owners had no choice but to leave their pets behind.
At many evacuation points small dogs were taken from their owners and left along side the road.
Many animals were not allowed to evacuate with their owners.
Believe me if the troopers tell you no pets they don't care these were animals to them and nothing more.
I will never leave my dog behind.
We will live and die together no matter what the troopers say.
I will get in my car and drive us away from the disaster no matter what.

Just imagine how it must feel for them to be left by their owners (I don´t call those who left their pets bad people because it´s right to save your own life) and then that Hurricane. And it´s all our fault.
STOP POLLUTION!!!

How stupid are people who leave the pets behind.I would stay at home and die before I did this.

Before you make comments like that please know the situation. Many people DID DIE because they chose to stay with their pets.
I'm the one that made this video and I was down there and heard owner's stories. People WEREN'T ALLOWED to take their pets on the buses leaving the city...OR into the shelters.
Please don't call people stupid...it shows how ignorant you really are about what went on down there.

I would Never leave my animals behind. I would do anything for them. Even if they said I couldnt take them with. I would find a way to take them. So Whoever said you werent aloud to take them... Think...If you loved your pets as much as I do or others do. You would find a way.

After seeing the effects this hurricane had on the animals, we need to contact our local officials and make sure there is a better emergency response specifically for animals in times of need.

there is now a law in the gulf states that requires animal evac be allowed with pet owners. we fought hard for it & we got it. now all evac plans INCLUDE pets. shelters and hotels and evac plans are to provide for pets now. thank gawd! i worked for the HSPCA & was to go help with rescue efforts in new orleans but plans for me were diverted. i am still angry i wasn't able to go help.

That law is not just in Gulf States. I live in NYC and it's the law here too. I think it's all over the USA now.
Indio156 4 years ago
Following Katrina, the Humane Society forced the government to pass a law saying that any evacuation must include the pets. It also says that if an owner leaves a pet during an evacuation, they can be brought up on abandonment charges. It is illegal to abandon any pet, and now, even during evacuation.

My best friend ever was put to sleep last year for the pain she experienced trying to stand up on her haunches, she was a 18 year old German Shepherd. I'd have preferred to go with her. I think this is so sad.

Hi...the sad part is the animals weren't left behind willingly. Their owners were not allowed to take them with them. If they got them to the bridge they were forced (at gun point) to leave them on the bridge while the owners were forced on the buses. That's why we worked so hard on the "No Pet Left Behind" legislation after we got back from there.

Gunpoint? Does that mean they would've been shot if they refused to leave their animal?

I adopted a Katrina Dog a year ago, I'm blessed, and thanks to all who helped. I would like to find out what my baby went through... maybe not. They told me he was surrendered by owner... Any clues?
