Lend a hand to the victims of Hurricane Katrina by helping the Houston SPCA help take care of their pets.

"The Houston SPCA extended a helping paw once again to animals impacted by disasters in the United States. Sunday morning, crews from the Louisiana SPCA arrived at the Houston SPCA. The evacuation of the Louisiana SPCA brought over 260 animals from their shelter. Due to the hit from Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf Coast region, the Louisiana SPCA moved all animals out of their shelter to the Houston SPCA. They are now accepting animals from those who are staying in Houston Area Shelters. "

For those needing shelter for their pets, please call their hotline at 713-802-0555."
