I just got back from there I spoke to Dave. Kathy is beside herself with grief. They have allot of support. Dave said any monies that are above and over the vet bills and damage will be donated back to the rescues. (Bless his heart.) 4 dogs perished and 4 are at Pets are Us Vet. News crews were there. Apparently a muffler off of a lowrider car on the freeway came off and sparked the fire. They are backeded up to the 14 freeway. Dave and Kathy are the most supportive of the rescues and my heart goes out to them. Please help them if you can by donating. There are 4 dogs at the vet in critical condition.
