This is a place for me to put together my pictures and favorite videos of the Hurricane Katrina disaster and my experience with my volunteering through Stealth Volunteers as well as Best Friends Animal Society.
I worked some long, tiring months with Stealth Volunteers trying to find missing people, which then turned into trying to find missing people to match with rescued pets,which then turned into finding missing pets for their people.
After about six very rewarding months, I decided to make a trip to New Orleans to work with Best Friends Animal Society at Celebration Station in Metairie. THAT was even more rewarding working in the intake area for both cats, dogs and any other furry or feathered friends. I worked assisting with so many duties of cleaning cages, assembling igloos, walking dogs of all kinds, trapping/feeding/tracking, and also working the adoption/reunion desk. At the time I went they were still bringing in approximately 50 animals a day! That's quite a lot after such a long time post disaster -- about five months!!
I would do it again in a heartbeat... although, I would never want such a disaster to happen again to ever warrant needing such a huge scale rescue mission to occur, but I'd be on the front lines of it any day.
Cheers to all who put so much of themselves into the rescues!!!
