Photos: Pet Rescues in Harvey's Wake

[douglas9]

As the floodwater continues to rise in southeastern Texas, residents have been trying to reach safety for days now—many of them bringing along their beloved furry companions. The dogs and cats of displaced flood victims are being cared for by owners, neighbors, and first responders across the region, finding medical attention and safety in shelters, and remaining close to their owners.

1. I couldn't leave

Uncle Ruckus or Jack behind. How much room with a maltese and tiny painted back rescue turtle take up anyways?

2. Of course, it's not just room.

There has to be containment, sanitary arrangements, feeding, hydration, noise control, buffer from humans.

Houston ASPA has a wish list at Amazon:

But will check out Amazon.

Our local shelter network up here (St Huberts) rescued animals already in in shelters and brought them to NJ.
