There are still victims of Hurricane Katrina searching for new homes. On Sunday, Dec. 11, New Leash On Life and Rescue For Ruffugees will host Hurricane Katrina Super Adoption at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. Hurricane Katrina Super Adoption is open to the public 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission and parking are free.
Guests will have the opportunity to shop dozens of pet-related vendors. There also will be a silent auction to support the ongoing Katrina animal rescue efforts. The money raised by silent auction will be collected by New Leash On Life and distributed to more than 30 rescue organizations that cared for Katrina ruffugees.
This event is the culmination of four months of efforts to rescue animals abandoned during Hurricane Katrina. More than 200 homeless pets will be available for adoption from Louisiana and Los Angeles. The goal is to find permanent homes for every adoptable animal.
Due to the large number of adoptable animals, the public must refrain from bringing any pets to the event.
