Amazing Animal Rescue Project - The Katrina Promise

When Katrina hit, an incredible group of dedicated volunteers came to East New Orleans facing incredible hardships to rescue over 3,000 pets. MuttShack ran a MASH unit, pet shelter and an aggressive ward clinic with Jim Crosby. They 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 did not provide for all the supplies equipment and training that is necessary pre-storm. Even though people will be evacuated with their pets, equipment, supplies and trained volunteers are still desperately needed.

i'm a vet nurse who lives in Australia. I worried, dreamt and thought about all the animals that were affected from the tragedy. There are plenty of people who help the humans-who cares about the poor animals??? You guys obviously do, it makes me feel better knowing your organization kept it's promise and delivered it. WELL DONE, NOTHING ANYONE CAN SAY CAN TRULEY ARTICULATE THE GOOD YOU ALL DO. You are the guardian angels and voice to the innocent and voiceless.
