- When Hurricane Katrina hit 10 years ago, pit bulls were abandoned in their hundreds as the flood waters receded
- They were either chained to the empty lots or displaced by homes destroyed by floodwaters
- Some simply lost their owners but, a decade on, some of them are still trying to find a home
- In August 2012, Villalobos Rescue Center (VRC) became the main advocates for rehousing the dogs
- They have roughly 40 in their care, and are desperately trying to get the happy dogs a home
- (TPL LOVES THIS SHOW!)
