An animal rescue worker holds a dog displaced by Hurricane Katrina during an intake of about 80 pets at the San Francisco International Airport on Sunday, Sept. 11, 2005. The first major airlift of dogs from the hurricane-battered Gulf Coast left Louisiana on Sunday, carrying about 80 pets to new temporary homes in California. The Continental Airlines flight from Baton Rouge, La., was chartered for about $50,000 by Texas oil tycoon Boone Pickens and his wife, Madeleine, in a movement dubbed "Operation Pet Lift."
