Pets abandoned during Katrina find new homes

PROSPECT - Dozens of four-legged victims of Hurricane Katrina got a taste Sunday of Butler County hospitality.

A group of county volunteers returned from storm ravaged southern Louisiana with about 12 dogs and 20 cats from the Broken Down Dogs animal shelter in Alexandria, La. Sunday afternoon.

They met at the Big Butler Fairgrounds with veterinarians, other volunteers and adoptees who offered to open their homes to the displaced pets, victims saved from one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history.

"All the animals we have will have homes," said Sue Varner of Franklin Township, one of the organizers of the effort.
