A Story
about
Forrest,
by
Forrest
I’m a Hurricane Katrina survivor.
That’s what the animal rescue people say, anyway…
I was surrendered, two weeks after Hurricane Katrina, to a High-Kill Shelter in Lafayette, Louisiana. Thankfully, the Labs4rescue Organization came and got me before I was scheduled to be euthanized.
Labs4rescue are wonderful people, they fed me and gave me medicine and they also matched me with my new family. They told me I was going to live in upstate New York and that I would be able to see snow.
The ride was very long, but I had 20 other Labs traveling in the truck with me- so I wasn’t lonely.
At long last I meet my new family, the Ostrander’s. They are the type of family that every dog dreams of. I am very happy now.
