German Shepherd Survives With No Food for Seventy-Two Days
An unfathomable story of survival and dedicated animal rescue …
PHOTO AND STORY: click here
As this year’s hurricane season approaches, the images of Katrina are still with us. The German Shepherd that survived in his home, waiting for his owners, seventy-one days starving and alone. The family who themselves went without food and water as they hid with their dogs and newborn pups and the sad memory of thousands more that died, their stories untold.
We placed ourselves at great personal risk to save those that we could as we promised ourselves that this could never happen again. We lobbied, and won the right to evacuate pets both with Federal and State laws. But the hardest part is now up to us – to do what we promised. To respond when a hurricane threatens the State of Louisiana, and evacuate pets alongside their owners. This is now possible trough the tireless efforts of the Louisiana State Animal Response Team.
There is still a lot of work to be done. MuttShack needs pre-storm funding for supplies and equipment to be ready. We need sponsors, but most of all , we need trained qualified and brave volunteers to go in and participate in the evacuation of pets from every Parish in the State of Louisiana to make sure each dog, cat, bird, small animal and critter gets out safely with their owners.
We need to train now to be swift, competent and thoroughly prepared. Please come join us in Baton Rouge on March 21, for the MuttShack Pet Evacuation Transportation Training. Then stay for the LSART Summit and Training Workshops, March 22, and 23, and 24.
We made a promise – now let’s keep it!

Hurricane evacuations are imminent, since evacuation procedures must begin days before expected landfall of a Cat 3-4 and above storm. Volunteer participation will be critical to ensure the safety of all animals. Volunteers are needed in all areas, some of which will not require animal contact. You are not required to attend these training sessions in order to volunteer.
