"Workers with the SPCA of Texas and the Humane Society of the United States arrived Wednesday in Louisiana, where state officials set up a temporary shelter between Baton Rouge and New Orleans for their animal rescue work.

The well-established organizations are working in cooperation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Their joint effort has placed more than 300 rescued pets in adoption programs with various south Texas-based animal welfare groups, including the Houston SPCA, officials said.

For information about tax-deductible donations, call (888) ANIMALS, ext. 128.
