In 2005 when Katrina hit, we were so devastatingly shocked at what was happening to not only the people of New Orleans, but to the animals also. We decided we wanted to help out by becoming fosters. At first we were only supposed to foster Gumbo (the Collie on the left) but when my dad saw Buddy (the Golden on the right) smashing himself against the cage, he pointed him out and said that we couldn't possibly leave him. We ended up adopting them later. Buddy and Gumbo have been best brother ever since up until Gumbo passed away in May of this year. We all miss him very much, but we a grateful for the 5 wonderful years we spent with them both.
