Katrina Louise from Hurricane Katrina, Louisiana!

A friend here in Indiana was volunteering with the Humane Society of Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina destroyed New Orleans. On her last day before heading home, she spotted this one, fell in love and brought her back to Indianapolis. Named Uno Katrina Louise, she had lost an eye, had heartworms, had bb's and buckshot from abuse and was grossly underweight. After returning to Indy, that friend was accepted to veterinary school in Scotland and she needed to find a home for Uno. I met Uno and that was that. She joined me and my chihuahua Toro in August 2006 and is a fantastic, sweet dog.

I am forever grateful to the Humane Society of Louisiana for taking such measures to save this dog's life. Like most people and businesses, they lost everything in New Orleans after that storm and still need help to rebuild. They could have so easily euthanized a dog in such condition, but they didn't - they saved her! I can't imagine my home without this beautiful sweet dog.
