Although the number of animals left behind is unknown at this time, we hope this number will be much smaller than the overwhelming numbers of pets left behind during Hurricane Katrina. Pasado's Safe Haven rescued over 1200 pets in New Orleans and attempted to reunite them with their families... We’ll continue to follow Midwest floods and provide updates as needed.

Local animal rescue groups have deployed to affected areas to save pets left behind in evacuated homes. PetSmart Rescue Waggin made an emergency stop to transfer Indiana shelter animals to make room for pets displaced by floods.

"Because pets suddenly orphaned from the rains could belong to someone in the community, it's imperative they stay in the community," says Della Maddalena of the Morgan County Humane Society. "By arranging for the Rescue Waggin' to pick up and transfer dogs already at the shelter, we're helping make space at Morgan County Humane Society for the influx of pets left homeless from [Indiana] flooding."

6/12/08: Since floods ravaged parts of Indiana (6/7/08), with hundreds of residents evacuated, KC Animal Disaster Aid Network has spoken with Indiana shelters/rescues to assess animal needs:

Terre Haute Humane Society: Not many calls for help from residents. Only one citizen south of shelter reports strays " everywhere.” A local boarding kennel has advertised housing for animals of people without resources. THHS has agreed to vaccinate the animals for them. Water is receding in Terre Haute...

Owen County Humane Society: Reports they are fine. Had to boat in to shelter, but the shelter did not get any water in it.

Johnson County Animal Shelter: They seem to be the worst hit county. No response to inquiries yet...

Diann Wellman, EARS North Central Region Regional Director / Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin: EARS is not deploying at this time, having received similar information as KC that outside resources are not currently needed.

Former Katrina rescuer and Indiana resident Cris Stevens (also a fireman) has sought information for us from Emergency Management teams in Indiana.

So far no Indiana flood contacts have requested assistance, or their needs were met locally. If Indiana situation changes, we’ll provide updates.

6/11/08: The HSUS animal rescue team deployed to Morgan County, Ind., in response to a request for assistance in the aftermath of severe flooding in the region. Upon their arrival, the team coordinated with local officials to assess the situation and address any pressing animal needs.

Morgan County Humane Society was housing approximately 55 dogs who were rescued after the floods. The HSUS team provided them with logistical support, much-needed pet food and other sheltering supplies.

The team was also contacted by the local sheriff's department to assist with animal rescue. With word from the Morgan County Humane Society that no further outside help was needed, The HSUS team returned to headquarters. The rescued dogs will be held at the Morgan County Humane Society until they are reunited with their guardians or adopted.
