Cynthia is in New Orleans for her second day with rescuers from CODE 3 and the Humane Society of St. Louis. She says things seem really organized and efficient today.

The group Cynthia is working with is covering a particular part of the city. They have a list of 285 addresses where people have asked for a pet to be rescued. The group will divide up the addresses and rescue the animals they can and leave enough food and water for three days for the ones they can't. Another group will return later to rescue the animals left behind. Cynthia's crew consists of six people and one National Guard.

On their way into New Orleans, Cynthia and her crew already had successful rescue. They were sitting in a traffic jam on I-10 and Cynthia saw what she thought was a pair of ears sticking up from the embankment on the other side of the highway. Once these ears moved, the guys she was with put on their gloves, jumped out of the car and ran across the median through oncoming traffic to rescue what turned out to be a German Shepherd that had apparently been hit by a car.

We will have more updates from her day later. She has also promised to visit the dog with the lacerated neck (see photos from last night) this evening to get an update on his status.
