What Will Happen to Animals in New Orleans That Still Need Rescuing?
Efforts to rescue, shelter, and reunite the animals abandoned in New Orleans and surrounding parishes after Hurricane Katrina continue. The Louisiana Department of Agriculture & Forestry earlier mandated that all rescues based out of the Lamar-Dixon temporary shelter in Gonzales end on Friday, September 30, but the state said that LA SPCA and other credentialed groups could continue to run rescues and bring the animals to LA SPCA’s temporary facility in Algiers or to an approved veterinary facility.
