The prestigious Pioneer Sprit Award was presented to MuttShack Animal Rescue Foundation on August 29, 2008, the day Hurricane Gustav took aim for New Orleans.  What followed was the largest pet evacuation ever in the United States, and MuttShack Animal Rescue provided over 100 trucks to the State of Louisiana, to evacuate up to 7,000 to 10,000 animals.

The award was presented to MuttShack Animal Rescue Foundation "For your extraordinary vision, determination and compassion in rebuilding the City of New Orleans, and the State of Louisiana."  The award was presented by the Humane Society of Louisiana and everyone promptly evacuated the city!

MuttShack Animal Rescuers in New Orleans are recognized for their outstanding work by Los Angeles City Councilperson Wendy Greuel and State of California U.S. Congressman, Brad Sherman. 

State Assembly Member Cindy Montanez makes the presentation at the official "Day of the Horse" a day also dedicated to MuttShack Animal Rescue.
