About a week ago there was a story on the local news about a dog that had somehow become trapped on a roof of an abandoned house. She was up there in the hottest hours of the day and it took several phone calls to get someone from the dog warden's office to come rescue her. In the end they called the fire department because it wasn't just any house. The house was one of those two story houses so they had to cut a hole in the roof to get her down through the house. She wiggled and kissed the firemen who came to save her even though she should have been terrified out of her mind and delirious from the heat.
Here's where the story goes bad. She is a pit bull terrier mix (or looks it) and in her city (Youngstown) pit bulls have been outlawed. The only people who could claim her would be her owners which due to no tags and the dog breed ban I doubt they'll find in her allotted 3 business days. As a result today or tommorrow she will be euthanized along with all the other illegal pit bull terriers, pure, mixed, or look alikes.
And there's not a thing anyone can do to stop them. Poor baby deserves life but instead she was rescued from the roof only to be killed in a different way. Of course the media doesn't tell people what happens to her after her heroic rescue, that wouldn't make good news apparently.

Can any of you guys help her, somehow? I honestly don't know if there's any time left, or if there's anything anyone can do, but someone on the other forum mentioned an out-of-state rescue could save her?
I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, I wanted it to get the best possible chance of being seen, and I've never had to post something like this before.
