7. These are pets who were in the shelter and looking to be adopted.

They did not belong to families. They were orphans before the storm. The shelter was destroyed during the storm. Luckily, in the two hours proceeding the storm, the shelter sent out an SOS, and people came to get the pets so they would be safe. The shelter said if people had not helped, every pet would have perished. It was all under water. Bissel helped evacuate some of the pets to shelters. They are looking for foster families or forever homes for the babies. None of them were adopted or had homes.
