They had a fire at the animal shelter here this morning, probably due to a faulty heater. 48 cats and 15 dogs died in the fire. One of our local firefighters went into the burning building, cutting the locks off the cages and opening the doors, and then carried out all the little ones he could. One was a little black lab puppy who wasn't even weaned yet. His mother and siblings were killed in the fire.
We don't have much money in our county, and they were just able to put up this pole barn a few years ago, when a lady died and left them ten grand. Before, the animals were kept in pens outdoors with just a tarp for a roof. I sure hope they had insurance.
Our county animal control officer is a real sweetheart, and he never puts an animal down unless it's a dangerous one. He was practically in tears this morning when he was on TV. Thing is, now they have no place to put the animals they did save.
I usually send a donation to the Salvation Army or the local food pantry for Christmas, but I think the animal shelter will get at least part of it this year.
