NILES - People aren't the only ones who evacuated to Michiana after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans and the rest of the Gulf Coast.
Whispering Pines Kennel on Portage Road, Niles, is boarding New Orleans native Ragin' Cajun, a 160-pound Bullmastiff.
Deb Brown, head volleyball coach at the University of Notre Dame, recommended to the Henican family that they take Ragin' Cajun to Whispering Pines, as that's where she boards her dogs.
Paula and her husband Chuck have owned Whispering Pines Kennel since 1995.
Ragin' Cajun is enjoying his time at Whispering Pines. With the Henican family being so close they are able to come to the kennel and take him for walks and play with him.
