Dr. Foskey says his shelter took in more than 150 animals from residents evacuating to the north days before Rita made landfall. He says he stayed with the animals in the clinic the entire time, and despite the roof being blown off, all the animals suvived and are doing fine. Foskey Veternary Clinic in Orange sheltered about 150 animals during the storm. Water has been restored to the clinic. A boil water notice is in effect for all parts of Southeast Texas until further notice.
