This is not to suggest that shelters should not foster-out Katrina pets. This is a plea to consider making any final adoption no sooner than December 15.

1) Resources (monetary) available to help your shelter deal with animals displaced by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Link here.

2) Reimbursement (monetary) of transportation costs for animals returned to their owners. Link here.
