Not Left Behind: Rescuing the Pets of New Orleans - Tapa dura

Not Left Behind is the story of how Best Friends Animal Society rescued thousands of pets from the storm-ravaged, flooded streets of New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.The story is told through the images of Best Friends photographer Troy Snow and the words of five Best Friends rescuers—frontline troops representing thousands of volunteers across the country who helped save lives and reunite families.

The mission of BFAS is driven by the simple philosophy that kindness to animals helps build a better world for all of us. BFAS works with humane groups all across the country to bring about a time when there are No More Homeless Pets. In addition to the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, located in UT, which is home to 1500 dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and other animals, BFAS reaches across the nation helping humane groups, individuals, and entire communities to set up shelter, foster, spay/neuter and adoption programs.
