Meet Hurricane!Hurricane

The pit bull was one of the thousands of animals rescued in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane was taken to a shelter in Sante Fe where he was deemed "vicious," and he came very close to being euthanized. That's when a valley dog trainer stepped in to help and now Hurricane is so well trained, he's on his way to becoming a search and rescue dog.

I have nicknamed him Guy Smiley, because he always has that goofy pit bull smile going on. I was really working on agility and stuff, when I realized his hunt drive was really weak, which is a bad thing. However we are doing runaways and things, and it is definately improving." August 2006
