After Jamie Carpentier divorced his wife in 2003 he never thought he would see Ginger the basset hound ever again. One day he was browsing the local animal shelter’s website and came across Ginger’s page but with no photo. He didn’t believe it could be her but he asked the shelter to send him a photo of the dog up for adoption. Amazingly it was Ginger from years ago, so he went to the shelter to see her. When Ginger saw Jamie she knew exactly who he was and gave him tons of kisses. From that moment on they will never be separated again.

Sandy’s misplaced pets

By Leave a Comment

Hurricane Sandy may be long gone but areas are still working on recovery from the devastation Sandy brought to the NJ & NY area. Not only people are affected, animals are too. So many dogs and cats have been separated from their owners. Luckily the ASPCA, started a temporary shelter in Brooklyn, NY to help reunite pets with their owners.

Around 300 animals got separated but luckily a lot have been reunited. But there are still around 100 waiting for their owners to come for them. They are hoping all the pets get back to their owners because the shelter environment is not good for them and they will soon need to find new forever homes.

If you have been separated from your pet because of Hurricane Sandy, you should go to the temporary shelter at 1508 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, N.Y. 11233, to see if your pet may be there. I hope they all get reunited with their owners soon.
