Animal rescuers set to go in after Gustav
By Sharon Peters, Special for USA TODAY

“The government officials and procedures have taken intoaccount that people won’t leave without their pets and have made provisions for that,” says Linda Anderson, who with her husband Allen, investigated Katrina and wrote Rescued: Saving Animals from Disaster, a clarion call for advance disaster planning for animals. “The intake procedures are organized and standardized so animals don’t get lost in the system. … (The government) is working side by side with the animals groups.”

"Our society has made animals dependent on the kindness and generosity of humans. In return, animals serve as conduits for people to fulfill their primal need for connection to nature. The animals in a home may be a person's only and deepest source of unconditional love.  Millions of people need this kind of love - love without judgment, artifice, or stinginess - in a universe of emotional and spiritual isolation."
--Allen and Linda Anderson, RESCUED: Saving Animals from Disaster, p.4
