Help connect owners with pets, or offer a foster home

Thousands of animals were separated from their owners during Katrina. Animal rescue teams are still in the New Orleans area trying to find pets who have miraculously survived, and trying to move those already rescued out of the area, as well as match up lost pets with their owners.

If you know of anyone who has lost a pet during the storms or who wishes to foster one, please visit the Animal Emergency Response Network message board. You will also find links to other resources and instructions on what is expected if you foster a pet.

If you would like to read a story about one rescuer who was working at the Gonzales, LA facility, go to a page on her blog: http://manchmal.diaryland.com/brillstory.html. You will understand what it has been like for the hundreds of volunteers doing the incredible work of saving animals.
