North Texas Flood: Update On Animals
SOURCE: Kat5 Animal Rescue, kat5animalrescue@yahoo.com
7/6/07, From Susan Meyer, KAT 5 Animal Rescue — The outpouring of help for animals displaced by North Texas flooding has made a difference in Haltom City, Texas. But help is still needed. "Several animals were rescued and no one knew who their guardians were. Shelter staff went door to door to notify residents of animals rescued from the flood. By the end of 30 days there were
still unclaimed animals, so we began to find them new homes", said Sgt Jean Rowell, Interim Supervisor, Haltom City Animal Control.
HAPPY ENDING: A dog was home with a mother and son when flooded gas pipes caused their trailer to blow up. The people were burned over their entire bodies and rushed to Baylor Hospital in Dallas. The dog’s family thought he’d died in the flames. But the explosion had catapulted the dog out of the trailer. A citizen found him floating down a river and brought him to the shelter. The dog was returned to the grandmother, singed but happy.
Sgt. Jean Rowell of Haltom City Animal Control currently has 20 animals in her home due to the overcrowding at the shelter since the flood. "The
Mama cat that I call ’Flood Mama’ has been a surrogate mother to three different litters so far," she says.
