Katrina Victim Sues to Get Her Dog Back
A New Orleans woman who lost her dog during Hurricane Katrina is suing the suburban Philadelphia family that adopted it and two kennels that helped place the animal.
Sheila Combs said in the lawsuit that she wanted Rocket, her 10-year-old son’s chow-Finnish spitz, returned home.
The suit names as defendants the couple who adopted the dog, and alleges that Holiday House Pet Resort and Molly’s Country Kennels “wrongfully adopted out” Rocket after the dog was sent to Pennsylvania in a hurricane rescue.
Combs claims the couple reneged on returning the dog and seeks unspecified damages.
