MANILA, Philippines — The powerful typhoon Glenda not only killed dozens of people and knocked down power in several provinces, it also destroyed a dog pound for pit bulls in Laguna.
The Laguna Pit Bull Center sustained a significant amount of damage from the cyclone, the strongest to have entered the country so far this season.
"We urgently need your help in rebuilding the home of over 150 precious rescued pit bulls," the organization said in a statement on Thursday.
