OMG! I'm blubbering like a baby. Think about it guys.........if you HAD to leave but couldn't take your furbabies - what would you do??? I just could not leave Rowdy!
For the Rita evacuation, they learned from Katrina, and they did let people bring their pets. Here in Austin, we had some pet friendly shelters (heard a story about a boa constrictor in one) and the city animal shelter kept those pets who could not, for whatever reason, stay with their families. The Katrina lessons were hard ones, but at least someone listened and I hope the mistake of making people leave their pets behind will never be repeated.
