Abandoned Dog at Shelter Rescues Kittens
Abandoned Dog at Shelter Rescues Kittens
Wednesday, August 20, 2008 Reno, Nevada KTVN-2-CBS You've heard of man bites dog. What about, dog saves cats? A 2-year-old dog that had been turned over to the Nevada Humane Society's shelter in Reno is being credited with rescuing six abandoned kittens. Shelter Director Diane Blankenburg says it happened Monday while the two-year-old Boxer/Pit Bull mix named Angel was on a walk with a pair of volunteers, Frank Gomez and his 9-year-old stepson, Joel Fontes. They were walking on the hot day with temperatures in the 90s when the dog became obsessed with something in the bushes. When she refused to move on, Gomez investigated and discovered a box full of 3-week-old orange tabby kittens that were frightened and hungry. One of the abandoned kittens escaped before shelter staff were summoned to the scene, but Angel tracked it down and Gomez handed it over to safety. ============================================= An 'Angel' makes a rescue Tuesday, August 19, 2008 Reno KRNV-4-NBC Angel, a pit bull-boxer mix, was rescued by the humane society recently after her previous owners were forced to leave her behind when they moved. On one particular day while taking an afternoon walk with 2 volunteers from the shelter, Angel picked up a scent from some bushes. She dragged her walkers to the area of the scent where they soon discovered six 3-week-old kittens, bright as a bunch of oranges, huddled together in a box. When human society staff were called to the scene, one kitten escaped but that did not stop Angel making one more rescue. She led one of the volunteers to the wayward kitten where it was safely reunited with its brothers and sisters. Angel is a sweet, playful dog who can now add hero to her repertoire. If you would like to adopt Angel, foster the 6 rescued kittens, or donate so other dogs and cats can be rescued, please call 775-856-2000 or email . |
