In this photo taken Tuesday, June 14, 2011, volunteer Erica Iwinski, from Walnut Creek, Calif, gets a lick from a rescued dog at a shelter in Joplin, Mo. More than three weeks after an EF5 tornado ripped through Joplin, nearly 900 dogs and cats remain sheltered at the Humane Society, most of them unlikely to ever be reunited with their owners.
