Welcome to NOLA Pet Rescue!

About Me

My name is Therle Dregansky, and I was one of several hundred paramedics dispatched from around the nation to the Baton Rouge area to do what we could in the face of tragedy. What we found was beyond words of description. And the highest price had been paid by some of the families that had been forced to leave parts of their families behind. Pets were not accepted in shelters, nor in most hotels, and many hundreds of animals, in the end, were simply left behind.
The shattered homes and scattered belongings were now guarded by uncertain and frightened animals--some wounded, others merely no longer trusting in the kindness of the humans that had abandoned them. Cats, dogs, horses, parrots. . . animals of every shape and size were touched by this national-scope natural disaster, when portions of the Gulf Coast were plunged headlong into a hard long look at third-world life.
Now I and some friends, some from around the nation and others living in the area I could just visit, are trying to account for those lost family members left behind.

My Interests

Local Pet Rescue organizations, animal shelters, PETA, HSUS and other federal organizations.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone interested in the protection of our extended family--animals of any persuasion, and all shapes and sizes. You can contact me at the links below:

New Year, and all's quiet

We've had a very slow beginning to the New Year. Now that we're no longer actively adopting out, the local animal shelters are no longer keeping in contact.  We've also noticed a drop in donation...
