Courageous Rescuers Risk it all to Save Hundreds of Animals From Louisiana Floods

Weather disasters are rough to get through for anyone, human or animal. Recently, the

folks of Southern Louisiana endured some devastating floodwaters resulting in damage to their property, widespread evacuations, and some difficult situations in regards to farm animals and pets. Many Louisiana residents underestimated the severity of the flood and ended up with farm animals entrenched in mud and tangled in rope and many pets went missing.

In the flurried chaos of it all, two animal rescue groups have been able to bring a semblance of order to the situation. Louisiana State Animal Rescue Team (LSART) have been monitoring the waters and sending out rescue teams where there are animals in distress, and Denham Springs Animal Shelterhave been taking in animals left in the wake of the destruction, as well as going above and beyond to make sure the dogs currently in their possession are safe and sound.
