Rescuers are trying to catch as many abandoned pets they can. Many are being saved, but many have died. Many are frightened and don't go to rescuers right away. In this sad photo, two little dogs run past a house with a tragic note from rescuers. On a bright note, I did watch a live rescue of a large black Lab or Lab mix. A male who was initially frightened of the boat, but the rescuers gently lured him in with food, then slipped a rope leash on him. The Human Society is coordinating animal rescues, as well as their post-rescue care.
