Dozens of animals rescued after Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana and Mississippi are now safe in Central Florida and looking for homes, according to a Local 6 News report.

About 40 dogs and cats were rescued from the flooded Gulf Coast after the storm and arrived Tuesday in Seminole County. Volunteers working for Pet Rescue By Judy took truckloads of animal supplies to Louisiana over the weekend and then came back with truckloads of homeless pets.

The pets that arrived in Tuesday are purebreds and mixes and all need new homes and owners.

"They have been by themselves and are used to human companionship," Tuscawilla Oak Animal Hospital worker Janis Fullenwider said. "They crave that right now and they are really out of their element and just want companionship."

If you'd like to help by becoming a pet foster parent or donating supplies, you are urged to call Pet Rescue By Judy at             (407) 716-5977       or click here.
