"It's devastating to lose your home overnight, but losing a pet often means losing a member of your family, too," says Trey Toups, one of the project's founders. "When trying to figure out how we could help our families and others affected by the flood, we found there is a need for a statewide gallery of lost and found pets. A lot of people are searching through random Facebook pages hoping they'll find their missing pets. This puts it all in one place and makes it searchable."
