"Pet website

The Lamar-Dixon Expo Center in nearby Gonzales, Louisiana, has been 
serving as a base of operations for the rescue effort and as a 
makeshift animal shelter.

The centre has nearly 1,000 horse stalls and often hosts rodeos.
On arrival, the rescued pets are photographed and entered into a 
database. Owners have 15 days to claim the animals, then they go up 
for adoption. Those looking for their lost pets can log on to 
www.petfinder.org or call 225-647-0712.
Animals unable to be housed at the centre are being moved to 
temporary shelters in other areas of Louisiana and Texas."
