"Roughly
90,000 square miles of the Gulf Coast was hammered by the Hurricane Katrina.
Most notably the City of New Orleans, though many cities and towns such as
Jefferson Parish, Louisiana and Bayou La Batre, Alabama were equally
devastated. In the year following the long lasting devastation of
Hurricane Katrina, North Shore Animal League America made thirty-six road trips
and conducted two unprecedented airlifts, rescuing over 1,300 dogs and cats
from the impact areas. After Hurricane Katrina, Congress passed the Pets
Evacuation and Transportation Standards (PETS) to include pets in evacuation
plans."
North Shore Animal League is and has always been so good to NOLA. They often post about us and you may know not this but they take a lot of our rescue transports and place for adoption. They were critical in helping drive awareness of the Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards that was passed as a direct result of Hurricane Katrina and the Federal Failure.
Thanks NAL!
