Rescued pets from the Louisiana floods have nowhere to go

An animal rescue non-profit is stepping in to help pets who have been misplaced by the devastating floods in Louisiana.

Aside from the thousands of homeowners who have been left with nowhere to go, pets have been displaced.

And, sadly, the state is running out of places for rescued animals to go.

But it didn't take long for members of non-profit animal saving group Guardians of Rescue to realize shelters were crammed beyond capacity or had simply been destroyed by the floods.

Despite rescuing countless animals, they were told there wasn't any more room in the shelters that withstood the damage.

On top of that, the group's founder, Robert Misseri, says the overall rescue effort has receded, along with the once-high waters.

Misseri says scenes like this are rare, where pet owners are reunited with their animals.

So while hard-hit spots like the Denham Springs Animal Shelter pick up the pieces so they can house displaced animals, the call was answered from other shelters across the country.

The team from PAWS Chicago, the largest no-kill shelter in the Midwest, arrived to transport a number of the dogsrescued from the floods to their facility.

Hopefully, now that they're safe and sound, they'll be able to start over too.
