Hurricane Katrina doggy survivor, Lucky Louie, 2 years later Options

[steel]

Two years ago today, this tiny dog lost everything in New Orleans, during the Katrina hurricane.



A couple of months later, he was rescued, starving, begging for handouts, caked with dried mud and crud, and nearly eaten alive by insects of all sorts. He wound up in a Houston animal shelter. We saw his photo, fell in love, and trekked over to adopt him. We spent the first year he was with us combing the internet, searching for his owner(s), if still alive, to no avail.

We named him Lucky Louie, "Lucky" because he made it out alive and into a good home, and "Louie" is short for Louisiana, his former state.

He's such a lovable little fella, that I know that if his owners made it through the hurricane, they must still grieve the loss of him. And on today, the 2nd anniversary of the hurricane, our hearts go out to them.

Jan,

What a wonderful thing you did. You have such a big heart.

We didn't quite do the same,but we were going to look for a puppy for the kids, and found mixbreed and she(Buffy) was hiding in the corner of a big box along with her sibbling's and had such a sad face on her and scared too.So that was the one we picked out. The pups weren't weaned yet but people said that the mother had gotten into rat poison and we had better come after the pup. Long story short. Buffy turned out to be the best dog we ever had (almost)( We had two other's after her.)

You could spell a name of one her toys and she know which one to go and get and very protective of us . We had her for 10 wonderful years and lost her to a brain tumor.



I'm happy Lucky has found a very good home.
