dog rescue

Many people have written over the years asking where to find "no-kill" animal shelters. Animal lovers naturally want to support organizations that do not euthanize.

Of course, every shelter or pet rescue hopes that euthanizing animals won't be necessary.

"My two dogs, Noss and Chata, went through Hurricane Katrina. Unfortunately we had to go to a shelter, and during the storm my fence came down and the dogs escaped. My neighbor across the street had decided to ride out the storm, so he retrieved my dogs and put them in his yard - only to have his own fence blown down. Once again, the dogs got out but he was able to get them back.

Two days after the storm, Noss got out again and was barking at another neighbor's dog through the fence. The neighbor decided he had enough of the barking and shot Noss.
