When Dog Adoption Goes AwryKatrina dog awaits court decision to learn his fate During the Katrina evacuation, a woman was compelled to leave her best friend, a small dog she received as a puppy for Christmas in 2004, behind. Her last glimpse of her dog was from the helicopter she was being whisked away on. She had just a fleeting second to snap a photo of her dog, a photo that would hold her memories during the difficult months to follow. As chance would have it, the wonderful work of the Best Friends dog and cat evacuation team, spotted this little Katrina pup and rescued this dog along with approximately 6000 others. The seemingly lucky dog was found and fostered until his rightful guardian could be found, by The Animal Benefit Club, in violation of its agreement with Best Friends. When the Katrina dog “mom” learned of her dog's whereabouts she was delighted and a heartwarming reunion was envisioned. Not so fast….The foster family decided that they wanted to keep the dog. They claimed the pup was best left with them. The Katrina evacuee couldn’t possibly take care of him as good as they, or so they claimed. Now the issue has gone to court and trial is underway, if there has been no delay. So who will get the beloved dog lost in the Katrina shuffle, then rescued by Best Friends, fostered in Arizona, and now the subject of litigation? |
