They are doing for pets what the Astrodome is doing for people.

Do you ever watch the animal rescue show on the Animal Planet channel?

I do, and I'm not too keen on the Houston SPCA after watching that.

I've seen them do a lot of questionable "rescues" -- where they confiscated pets who pretty healthy to me, and who had loving owners.

Sure, some of the situations might have been less than optimal for the animals. But in many cases it just looked to me like the Houston SPCA was being terribly cruel --to both pets and their humans, for no really good reason.

Then I found some postings on the web about a program ABC news apparently did, that gave credence to some of the charges that the Houston SPCA goes to far in confiscating animals.

So I don't know whom to trust, but for now, I'm favoring www.petfinder.org for my donated $$$. I know they're working in the N.O. and Mississippi areas and are doing a fantastic job.

Thanks for the heads up on the Houston SPCA.
