After only two years of efforts by the No-Kill Los Angeles (NKLA) Coalition, the clear results are already shining as an example to cities around the nation.
On Friday morning an estimated 1,200 people gathered to honor and mourn the passing of Pittsburgh police dog Rocco, who died last week after being stabbed during an arrest.
Rusty was facing being put down at a shelter when the administrator at a nursing home came to his rescue and gave him a second chance as the facility’s companion dog.
“We heard something coming from the rubble so dug down where the sound was coming from and we found her there,” said rescuer Dave Barritt. “It amazing that she could come out of that looking so well.”
