Coby & Mamacita
They're so in love!
(But it's time to find them homes).

Coby, left, and Mamacita (telling secrets!) were rescued from the flood waters in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. They've bonded over the months of living as rescued dogs - but now, we need to find them a home. Together, or apart from one another.

Coby, left, with Kim, our Pasado's event coordinator (in his studly bomber-jacket!) was found as a stray in the hell of St. Bernard Parish outside New Oeleans. He desperately swam to our boat as we approached him. He was so scared, he didn't hesitate to be dragged into the boat. We were strangers to him yet he knew we were there to save him.

Once back at our triage location, he was treated for severe malnutrition. He's still skinny, after months of rehabbing at Pasado's Safe Haven. But he's over the worst.

Coby had Grade 3 heartworm, a severe diagnosis. He's been through all but one heartworm treatment and then he'll be 100%. He would have died without this treatment. (He also got his "bags unpacked" a.k.a. neutered.)

Coby is such a love. He adores going for a ride in the car, or just being cuddled (with Rita, left, our Sanctuary Operations Manager). He's young (maybe two-years-old) and about medium size. But he really likes being a lap dog, if allowed.

Mamacita, left, is a face licker. She's an amazing story of survival. She was found on a roof of a house, while the flood waters washed by her. She had been there for days when we found her. As soon as she made it into our boat she drank and drank (smart dogs avoided drinking the toxic flood waters) and then inhaled the food we gave her. She was a love, right from the moment we met her. And although we are sure she is someone's dog, we have yet to find her owner. We think it's time she can finally get the love she deserves - a home, to call her own.

Please consider opening your home and heart to one of these Katrina dogs. They've been through so much. They deserve a future of all the best. E-mail us here to call one of them your own!

(Hey Coby! Maybe someone will take BOTH of us! Wouldn't that be great?!)
