Snowball found?
September 4, 2005 : 9:51 PM ET
LA SPCA reports that they may have found Snowball, as they
evacuated animals from the Superdome Sunday. Sept. 5, 10 p.m. EST
The Louisiana SPCA may have rescued "Snowball," the now-famous little dog that a crying boy was forced to
leave behind.
SPCA President Laura Maloney says they rescued a small, white terrier mix whom military officials told them they believed was Snowball, during evacuations Sunday from the Superdome.
"He is very cute, but he's got a little attitude," she reported of the terrier mix.
Of course, Maloney can't be sure of the dog's identity until the owner can be found -- and it is possible that the military officials were wrong.
But the SPCA did rescue between 30 and 40 dogs belonging to somebody from the Superdome Sunday. They plan to return Monday to search for more, as the inside of the Superdome got too dark to further explore.
Sunday night SPCA workers and volunteers were busy bathing the dogs taken from the Superdome.
Among the dogs rescued was a pit bull mix and her 11 newborn puppies. Although the puppies had been seperated from their mother by the military officials who put them inside the Superdome, they had somehow survived.
"Their mother was very happy to see them," Maloney reports.
A campaign had begun on the Internet to find "Snowball," after an AP report describing his painful, forced seperation from his young owner, as the boy boarded a bus to leave the Superdome area.

Thanks so much for this Snowball update. I hope it's the right dog. I felt such pain for that little boy who had the dog taken away, it kind of "personalized" the losses for me that so many thousands of people are experiencing.
