In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, many animals had to fend for themselves because their owners lost them or were unable to care for them. In Pawprints of Katrina: Pets Saved and Lessons Learned, Cathy Scott documents her experience working with the Best Friends Animal Society triage center to rescue lost animals and reunite them with their owners. Over two hundred stories with accompanying photos describe dramatic and challenging rescue cases with details about the rescues, the examinations, treatment, and follow-up care by the selfless volunteers who worked to save beloved best friends.
This is a very MOVING, and heartwrenching book - about the struggle animals had for survival when people were FORCED to leave them behind as Hurricane Katrina struck. Fortunately, a new law passed now allows people to take their dogs and cats and other pets with them to shelters. A MUST READ- but keep kleenex handy.
