Have you seen this handsome guy?

This is Clyde, an 8 year old Great Dane. These pictures of Clyde were taken with a camera phone while he was on the roof of the car during the flooding of New Orleans. He was last seen swimming up Central Park Place. He may have been rescued by a firefighter. Please help find him; Clyde is very friendly and is greatly missed by his family.

Attention pit bull owners

Pit Bull Rescue Central (PBRC) is networking with different organizations that were responsible for rescues in the hurricane affected areas, as well as a number of people in the pit bull community to make every effort possible to
reunite owners and pets.

If your pit bull is still missing from the disaster, please fill out a Lost Dog Report at:
http://pbrc.bullydogs.info/katrinamissingdog.html.

And if you have
photos of your dog, email them to: pbrckatrina@gmail.com.
Owners should include their name and their dogs' name with the email.


Lost Dog Reports are posted on our website: http://www.pbrc.net/katrinalostdogs/katrinalost.htm.
Shelters and rescues
have been notified to check our website for any dogs that match the Lost Dog
Reports, in hopes that we can reunite owners with their pets.

We are also accepting Lost Dog Reports on behalf of the owners. If you are working with an owner who does not have computer access, feel free to complete a Lost Dog Report and email photos to us on behalf of the owner.

We understand that many hurricane victims have to go libraries and utilize other public computers to try to search for their pets and have limited computer time. PBRC has created an owner resource page to facilitate
quicker and easier searches for the owner. We are adding to this page daily, as new information and sources are brought to our attention. Please visit: http://www.pbrc.net/katrinalostdogs/katrinaresource.htm

PBRC also has funding assistance available for hurricane pit bulls. To find out more, please visit: http://www.pbrc.net/fund/katrina.htm#Gethelp. Assistance is available for veterinary care, boarding assistance,
food/crates and spay/neuter.

Please have a look at the dogs here: http://www.pbrc.net/katrinalostdogs/katrinalost.htm
Their owners are desperately searching for them
