How many dogs and cats does PAWS have available for adoption now?
I’m guessing about 40, mostly kittens and cats right now. How are pets affected when the economy turns south? Horribly. It’s been a nightmare for the last year. Foreclosures – we’ve taken animals that were locked in an attic for a month. Skin and bones. What’s your best rescue story? There was a dog, we named her Allie. I found her cowering behind my garbage can. She had been stabbed twice. Somebody had beaten and stabbed this puppy. She was just a baby. … I got her into foster with one of our most experienced fosters and she just blossomed. She went from a scared, cowering, badly beaten dog to a beautiful, loving, I-will-kiss-you-and-show-you-unconditional-love pet. She was adopted by a wonderful couple. That is a story that really stands out. … But it makes you angry, too. Do you think Allie somehow knew to come to your house? It’s the strangest thing. I’ve had dogs come here. They just show up here. You see so many neglected and abused animals. How do you keep from getting angry
