Hurricane Harvey animals rescued

[Catherine]

You beat me to it. I was going to post something about the hurricane tonight.

There are some remarkable rescues going on, people and animals. People have somehow organized things in the face of a major natural disaster. The shelters are doing the impossible and they are doing it well. Everyone is just doing what needs to be done and animals are being looked after. The supplies they need are there for them. 

Things will never happen again like they did for hurricane Katrina. People were forced to leave their pets behind. Teams of rescuers searched the area trying to find abandoned animals and save them. It was another level of disaster.
Now pets are recognized as a part of all evacuation plans. It is terrible that Katrina happened the way it did, but at least we learned from it.


You will notice that pets are just part of the rescue pictures.

The image of Otis carrying his dog food really stands out. He was evacuating on his own.

There are also wild animals that are effected by the floodwaters.

I am glad they rescued the bats.


There will be lives lost, but hopefully the efforts of many will be enough to save the majority.
It will take a long time for the flood waters to recede. There is going to be a lot of rebuilding to do. At least many people will have their pets with them. That makes up for a lot.
