Animals displaced by Hurricane Katrina and sheltered at the LSU Coliseum and the Lamar-Dixon center. They were cared for and aided by the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine doctors, students, community volunteers; the LA SPCA; BRAVMA; the EBR Parish Animal Control; the HSUS; LA Department of Agriculture & Forestry; LA Veterinary Medical Asso.; USDA:APHIS Veterinary Services; VMAT (Veterinary Medical Assistance Teams); Cajun Clickers Computer Club; the US Public Health Service; many other organizations; and thousands of wonderful volunteers. The goals were to 1) rescue as many animals as possible, 2) treat, vaccinate, disinfect, comfort, and chip, 3) list pets on Petfinder.com, 4) reunite pets with owners, and 5) adopt unclaimed animals into loving homes. No animals were euthanized unless medically necessary.

I do not have specific info on any animals photographed except where noted.
