(September 3, 2008)--Two dogs, named Roscoe and Max, have been reunited with their families after escaping from their cages at a temporary animal shelter set up for Gustav evacuees in Tyler.
Tyler Animal Control Director Shawn Markmann said Roscoe, a 3-year-old Jack Russell terrier, ran away Saturday when the back of a donated pet carrier came apart.
Max, a mixed breed with some coyote in him, pawed at the latch of his kennel and also escaped on Saturday.
Both dogs were reunited with their families Tuesday.
Roscoe's owner Dennis Limon, from the Port Arthur area, said his dog was a little tired and shaken but is otherwise OK.
The other escapee, Max, has had plenty of hurricane adventures.
Smith County Assistant Fire Marshal Marilynn Wilson said Max was a Katrina adoptee the family took in after his owners were never identified three years ago.
Roscoe and Max were the only two of 200 animals that were cared for in Tyler to escape.
