My "dog mom" heart has been broken many times since Katrina
Me too. I've cried myself to sleep many times, just thinking of all these sweet babies out in the open, frightened, but staying where they are in hopes their mommas or daddies will come back for them.
How many of them have died in place, waiting?
There is a silver lining, however. The mayor of Galveston said that any mandatory evacuation for Rita, involving buses, would allow owners to take their animals with them.
The dead babies of NO have paved the way for future rescues to include animals as part of the "baggage" that people are allowed to take with them.
