Operation Save a Pet Katrina promotes adopting ANY pet from your local shelter.  Every animal makes a difference and there are still many animals living homeless in the streets of New Orleans, particularly in the abandonded neighborhoods that continue to remain vacant a year after Hurricane Katrina.

Also, please check out their promotional video with Kevin Nealon.  The story of Bubbles just broke my heart and made me cry to see her now a year later.   She was clinging on for her life more than seven weeks after the storm, locked up in a house with no food or water.  You have to watch this video if not for the testimonial of what this one dog has gone through.  This is why we all do what we do!  Thank god for the animal rescuers who all pitched in and helped down in New Orleans.
