Pet evacuations went smoothly for most
September 18, 2008
Those of us who evacuated for Hurricane Gustav with our pets --
and, thankfully, many more of us did than during Katrina --
experienced various challenges, from living with our pets

Jan Hannah works for the International Fund for Animal Welfare
which improves the welfare of wild and domestic animals
throughout the world. Jan, as an Emergency Responder, was
deployed to New Orleans during Hurricane Gustav to help with the
pet pre- and post-evacuation. While in New Orleans, Jan was sent
to the LA/SPCA to help prepare kennels and unload owned dogs at
the LA/SPCA.
Tinkerbell and Lacey - it so good to be home!
For
Hurricane Gustav, Melody Cashion and her 8-year old daughter
Sydney, participated in the City Assisted Evacuation Plan and
evacuated with their two Jack Russells, Tinkerbell and Lacey.
They were accompanying a disabled family friend, whose dog had
also been evacuated, and because they went to a special needs
shelter with her, they were separated from their dogs.
Tinkerbell and Lacey ended up at the LA/SPCA.
