RIPPED APART
Family reunited after Hurricane Katrina
August 29, 2005, a community and its animals were irrevocably and tragically altered. One of the deadliest and strongest hurricanes ever recorded, exacted a devastating blow to the Gulf Coast leading to the loss of thousands of lives, both human and animal. Amid the chaos and separation emerged one of the most enduring of bonds, the human-animal bond. In our relationship with animals, it became painfully clear that we needed them, as much as they needed us. So began the search for loved ones lost.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, it became necessary to issue a mandatory evacuation of citizens who stayed behind to weather the storm. The floodwaters flowing through New Orleans had become toxic, crime and levee breaches made New Orleans even more dangerous.
