Some of you won't see or accept the value of pets in the light of the human tragedy but trust me when I say their owners do.


There's hope for stranded pets in the New Orleans area.


The Louisiana SPCA, New Orleans' animal control agency, has begun rescuing pets from owners houses.Louisiana SPCA director Laura Maloney said shelter workers follow other agencies and crews through neighborhoods and rescue pets, some that are locked in houses.

At the owners' request, "we break in," she said.Owners have to call or email the operation and give their name and address and information about where the pet is confined.

The hotline number is: 1-225-578-6111.
E-mail should be sent to Katrinaanimalrescue@yahoo.com.

The hotline already is in effect, Maloney said. "It's busy an awful lot. We are trying to get a bank of telephones"
