Pet rescues are feeling the pinch since the pet food recall began. In fact, one Houston Poodle rescue has reported that their donations are down 90 percent since the pet food recall began.

The Rescue Bank in Houston provides donated pet food to non-profit, no-kill shelters. "Rescue Bank has about 30 non-profit, no-kill animal rescue and rehabilitation groups," Rescue Bank's John Kane said. The rescue was forced to throw out much of the food that they had on hand when the recall began.

The pet food recall has clearly left the big donors, such as grocery distributors, reluctant to donate food only to find out that it has been added to the list of contaminated pet food. The Houston Young Lawyers have launched a supply drive in order to assist the animals in need. If you wish to help call the Rescue Bank and/or call any one of a number of rescues in your area.
