Quake Leaves
Dozens
of Lost Pets
Dozens of dogs, cats and
other pets are still
without their owners two
weeks after a
magnitude-6.2
earthquake.
The president of the San
Francisco de Asis Animal
Protection Association
says about 150 pets were
rescued from the street
and ruined homes after
the quake. Gina
Malavassi says about
half are now reunited
with their owners.
Volunteers left notes at
homes, talked to
neighbors and used the
Internet, television and
radio to get the word
out.
Many of the remaining
animals are being held
at shelters. Some have
refused to leave their
abandoned homes, and
volunteers are feeding
and caring for them.. |
