Prowling the streets for pets in distress
Animal Care Network workers try to ensure dogs, cats have shelter, food, water, love
When someone shot Jose Cantu’s pit bull in broad daylight, Cantu didn’t call the Pontiac cops. He called Pam Porteous and the Animal Care Network.
“I called Pam first because I knew she would come right out and take care of it,” said Cantu, 32, an unemployed construction worker who, like many Pontiac residents, has come to rely on the group for pet needs in the financially troubled city.
For 19 years, Porteous and her volunteers have patrolled low-income neighborhoods of Pontiac, providing food, water, straw and compassion for the community’s often-neglected dogs and cats.
