Here's a video we came across that brings a renewed emphasis to the lessons of Hurricane Katrina. This family learned lessons that we all should take to heart, be it a hurricane, tornado or break in the levee. We should all have an emergency plan!
Towards the end there's even a message about our beloved friends, the animals.
Muttshack Animal Rescue released a video about their work, and their promise to the State of LA. Click here to watch the video. They are hoping to have 10,000 people view this video.
In the video, you will see the very gym where Bayou Rescue volunteers sent many of the supplies donated by YOU, and where we worked with the animals rescued by Muttshack.
Look closely, one of the dogs pictured was fostered and later adopted out by Bayou Rescue :)

These kittens were displaced by the flood in Haltom City. Can you help with vetting or finding forever homes?
KAT5 Animal Rescue has been assisting with help for some of the pets displaced in recent TX flooding.
"Several of these animals were rescued and
no one knew who their owners were. Shelter staff went door to door
attempting to notify residents that we had animals rescued from the
flood. By the end of 30 days there were still animals who had not been
claimed so we began efforts to find them new homes", said Sgt Jean
Rowell, Interim Supervisor of Haltom City Animal Control.

KAT5 Animal Rescue has done phenomenal work assisting animals after disaster, and even hung in for the long haul to care for 150+ dogs from the hoarding case in Dewy Rose Georgia.
KAT5 is in the running for a $10,000 grant from Kevin Bacon's 6 degrees contest.
The winner is based on the NUMBER of donations, not the amount.
So folks, even a $10 donation MAKES A REAL DIFFERENCE!!!!
Please read the Best Friends article, and turn a little $ into a LOT of help for all these animals!!
