Is that the same rescue center that was featured on Animal Planet a while back. I wish I was there I sure would jump in and help. I hope no humans or dogs are harmed. Please keep us updated.

Also, do you have a contact name & ph # for either of the rescues? If they need a place to house the animals, I have contacts in Fillmore & possibly Castaic; the Fillmore site is a large Dobe rescue and may have space.
