Can anyone love a dog from Hurricane Katrina?

A friend of KPCT just wrote to us with the following:
"My veterinarian Jane went to New Orleans a few months ago to volunteer her services. She said there are thousands of animals still without homes, and it was sad. One dog out of the thousands she saw caught her eye and her heart. His name is Caleb, and she said he's just a magnificent animal. For those of you who aren't in a position to adopt a pet, please pass this information to anyone you know who might be looking for a dog. Caleb is a 2-year-old male with the sweetest disposition ever. He has heartworm, and Jane has done a lot of work with him, but he'll have to be kept quiet for a few weeks while she treats him for this disease. He's not contagious, and is all ready for someone to love him.

You can see him at: www.poundhounds.org. Scroll down on the home page. He's in the second row. You can click on him and see some other pictures and a description."
If Caleb doesn't tug at your heartstrings, maybe one of the other faces will.
