Well our group of volunteers sort of stopped really counting after about 700. We're sort of a fast and furious mode as time marches on! HSUS says they reunited a couple of hundred but most of those were owners who went to the big receiving center at Lamar-Dixon.
Basically, there has never been any organized effort to find the owners. Most reunions have been done either by owners who were internet savy, had the time, and the resources to look on the internet. Other reunions were mostly done by volunteers like myself either on their own or as part of several internet groups that sprung up There never has been any serious official effort to reunite pets. Very conservative estimates are that anywhere from 12,00-15,000 pets were rescued. There are approx 15,000 lost reports on pets from the Gulf Coast. The math is atrocious and the stories of how people came to be separated from their pets tears your heart out!
