Thank you for sharing this news. It makes my heart feel good! And it makes me think there just might be hope for humans after all! For me, leaving my two little boys behind just would not be an options!

Re: Evacuation Success

I was paying close attention to how Louisiana officials handled emergency preparation, from a pet-owner's perspective. I was delighted to note that animals weren't just left behind to fend for themselves.

We were evacuated here in Gulf Shores, AL. I stayed with friends in Montgomery and just got back to town this morning. The first thing I looked up was how the Gulf Coast Zoo fared (all the animals are fine, and no damage to the zoo) and how the animal evacuation went in (especially) New Orleans.

It looks as though not only are government officials and volunteer efforts doing a better job with hurricane emergency preparedness, but civilians are actually LISTENING and following the advice. Here on the Alabama Gulf Coast, there was great respect for the way local law enforcement worked to help with evacuations, and a clear message from the Governor's office. I am so thankful to live in an area that is prepared for hurricanes and dedicated to saving lives, human and animal!

Re: Evacuation Success

Kudo's to LA. officials for learning a valuable lesson from Katrina and implementing it this time.....and for the citizens who left town and took their furbabies with them - kudo's to you all!! But I was very touched to see how the officials this time helped the misfortunate to get out on a timely basis and allowed them to bring their furbabies too!!! Mother nature at times isn't very kind - but when people come together and work together its amazing what good can be accomplished!!!
