usDARTFive years after Katrina animals and their owners are still on their own when a disaster happens. The Red Cross will not shelter pets with their owners.

Lamorinda DART (Disaster Animal Response Team) Lamorinda DART is a group of experienced animal disaster responders. DART specializes in Animal Care and Sheltering during disasters. Our operational area includes the City of Lafayette, the Town of Moraga and the City of Orinda. Our emergency animal shelters are located near a shelter for people. Other partners are the Contra Costa County Animal Response Team (Contra Costa Animal Services), Noah's Wish, other DARTs in Contra Costa and the American Red Cross. Together, we rescue the whole family. |

An opportunity was missed to set an example. The Pahrump DA's office wasted time, humane organizations dropped the ball. The animals continute to suffer and die. History will repeat itself. Unfortunately.
