Help Needed Reuniting Hurricane-Stranded Pets
WTOP, D.C [Radio]
December 30, 2005
After the first of the year animals stranded during Hurricane Katrina will be available for adoption. That means time is quickly running out to try to reunite them with their owners.
But, you can help the effort by becoming a "Pet Detective" with a group called Stealth Volunteers. Stealth Volunteer Case Worker Robin Siegel of Silver Spring, Md. says helping would involve sitting at your computer and researching databases.
Many pets rescued from flood waters came from specific addresses. Siegel says finding pet owners might be as easy as tracking down the owner's family for contact information. Some owners and pets are reunited through careful searches of classified ads.
If you want to help, contact robin.siegel@yahoo.com or check out the Stealth Volunteers site.

12/13: Best Friends hosts "Locate Your Lost Katrina Pet" event Friday, December 16 through Sunday, December 18 at the Garden District Hotel in New Orleans.

October 14: PETCO stores in Kenner and Harvey, La., have installed kiosks with wireless Internet connections to help customers locate animals lost in Hurricane Katrina.
The kiosks are available free of charge at PETCO's stores at 3500 Williams Blvd. in Kenner and at 1629 Westbank Expressway in Harvey.
Using the wireless connections, PETCO customers can easily access the Animal Emergency Response Network (AERN). The AERN network, found on Petfinder.com, is an online database of animals affected by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Information about lost and found animals is posted on the site, which can be searched by pet parents looking for their pets.

The Hurricane Katrina Emergency Animal Shelter [at LSU Parker Coliseum in Baton Rouge] was created to provide temporary care and shelter for pets of people who were displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
The vast majority of animals that were cared for at this shelter were pets relinquished by their owners while they sought to stabilize their own living arrangements and be reunited with their pets. Only a small number of animals with unknown owners were cared for at this shelter.
