That's absolutely heartbreaking, Chris.

Dog needs transport
I don't want to put a damper on what might be a very nice story but as someone who is working on doing Katrina pets/owner reunifications I wonder if this dog has an owner looking for him. There are some pretty terrible first hand stories about how people were forced to leave their pets, some at the point of a gun, who are now looking for them. All animals rescued, 10,000 plus, are scattered all over the country and let me tell you, to find one animal in this mess takes hours of computer time and long distance phone calls. Folks who were present to turn over their pet to SPCA were forced to sign a document that said they would be back to reclaim their pet by 9/30 and some shelters take that as a surrender--never mind that even those owners who went back to Gonzalez in plenty of time were told their animals were gone. HSUS & ASPCA have pleaded with all shelters/rescue groups to hold the animals or at least do contigency adoptions until 12/15 but every day there are more and more stories about pet owners finally finding their pets and being told they were adopted and goodbye! Even service dogs were not allowed in buses, barges, helicopter, etc. all those things used to rescue people so people are looking for seeing eye dogs, hearing dogs, etc. Anyway, I hope that this little guy was at least posted in Petfinder, that somebody made an effort to find his owner, and that there isn't someone out there feeling overwhelming guilt at having left him behind!
