A tribute to Katrina Animal Rescue..... Especially those volunteering at Camp Katrina, located in Tylertown, MS. and those working at the Winn Dixie in downtown New Orleans.
The pictures of the dogs in the water came from various associated press releases after the hurricane. Those pictures were what made me decide to head down to help. Myself, two other technicians and a veterinarian from where I work all headed down, not knowing what we'd find.
We arrived just as the camp was getting started. We were the first medical team in the camp. There were people from all walks of life, all races, all religion, all political views. It didn't matter...we were all there for one goal: To rescue and save the animals who fell victim to Hurricane Katrina.
The other pictures in the clip were taken by various volunteers in the camp: Lisa & Tammy, Chuck, Carebear, Gonzo, Kimmy and myself. If you see this video and find one of your pictures here and I haven't credited you, please leave me a comment and I'll make sure you get the credit you so richly deserve.
The song is by the country band "Sugarland" and called "Stand Back Up". I heard it for the first time after arriving home from Tylertown. It reminded me so much of what these animals went through I cried. I knew I would one day make a video using the song. After all they'd been through...once rescued and given the medical attention they needed they stood back up and were happy as could be. So...this is also a tribute to the resilience of those animals, and in memory of those who didn't make it.

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...
My God, this is one of the most moving films on Youtube. Thankyou so much for bringing to the world this. Damn people who mistreat animals. Poor little darlings....... God bless the people who helped these animals. I hate you George Bush.
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.
