Costa Rica quake leaves dozens of lost pets

Dozens of dogs, cats and other pets are still without their owners two weeks after a magnitude-6.1 earthquake that triggered deadly landslides.

The president of the San Francisco de Asis Animal Protection Association says about 150 pets were rescued from the street and ruined homes after the quake. Gina Malavassi says about half are now reunited with their owners.

Volunteers left notes at homes, talked to neighbors and used the Internet, television and radio to get the word out.

Many of the remaining animals are being held at shelters. Some have refused to leave their abandoned homes, and volunteers are feeding and caring for them.
