Many pets displaced by ice storm

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Tens of thousands of people are still displaced from their southern Missouri homes after last week's ice storm. But hundreds of animals were also left with no place to go.

Many shelters won't take dogs and cats. The Humane Society of Missouri recently took 60 animals from the Caruthersville shelter.

An emergency shelter has been set up in New Madrid, a place where pet owners forced from their homes can temporarily leave their pets. The emergency shelter is aiding people in hard-hit New Madrid, Butler and Pemiscot counties.
