It was the costliest natural disaster and the fifth deadliest hurricane in U.S. history. As hundreds of thousands of refugees fled their homes, leaving behind countless animals, PETA traveled in the opposite direction, coming to the aid of the hurricane's animal victims. On the 10th anniversary of the catastrophic storm, we're reminded of the hard work of so many, including PETA's team of rescuers and our volunteer staff and members, and we rejoice because of the hundreds of animals they rescued from abandoned houses as well as the RV full of dogs evacuated from the area.
