The shelter just called me and left a message because I couldn't get to the phone fast enough and I called back and she said that someone had come in to rescue him so Sam is safe. She did, however, point out that people "get miopic" about dogs and she just HAD to say that 20 dogs had died this morning and 20 more are set to die tomorrow. She said they have about 300 dogs there right now.

Anyway, the good news is Sam was rescued today.
