Hurricanes Katrina and Rita swept through the Gulf States, causing untold destruction and suffering not just for humans, but also for the many thousands of animals that were left homeless, injured, and afraid. The Humane Society of the United States commemorates the tremendous outpouring of support from the public and the tireless efforts by hundreds of brave volunteers to rescue so many animals from this disaster.
