In response to hurricane Gustav, the SPCA of Texas has started taking in evacuee pets. Oh, but not those pit bulls....they get to stay behind. A quote from the SPCA....
"Our goal is to serve as a hub since the path of the hurricane could affect both states. In order to continue to help animals from the coast of Louisiana and Texas, I am asking for assistance from SAWA members in moving these animals further north. All of the animals are considered adoptable. There are 90 dogs total. Most are medium size and approximately 15 are large dogs. None of the dogs are Pitbulls." - VP of Operations, SPCA of Texas
This makes my blood boil. According to BAD RAP...
"While non-pits are being welcomed into waiting shelters farther north, the pit bulls have been shuffled to other locations to wait out the storms along with the unadoptables, the strays and the very sick dogs. Sorry pit bulls. Once again, you get the back of the bus."
Their blog says that the best place to send donations is Best Friends animal sanctuary...They are already putting rescue efforts in place and they do NOT discriminate by breed.
