How to Save a Dog


For nearly a year, a motley crew scoured New Orleans for a shaggy white mutt named Scrim.

Two days later, I met Nita Hemeter, the short, bespectacled co-founder of a nonprofit called Trap Dat Cat, in front of her pink house. Three years after I adopted the colony, while checking my mailbox, I made eye contact with a woman who was stapling signs to telephone poles: Michelle Cheramie, the founding director of Zeus’ Rescues, another local nonprofit. Practically every day, I see his likeness on Canal Street murals, devotional candles, and T-shirts with captions such as “No Gods, No Masters.” At cocktail bars, I can order dog-themed drinks such as Born to Run and Slim ’Em, Scrim.
