"Foreclosure Pets"

Distressed property owners are suffering as they are being forced to vacate their homes, BUT they aren't the only ones suffering........

A growing number of animals are too being left to fend for themselves! According to The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, over 1 million pets will be placed for adoption this year alone due to foreclosure. In addition, there are recent reports that show for one in every five foreclosed homes, there is at least one animal that is being left behind. It is a very sad problem. Leaving these "innocent victims of foreclosure" inside a property without food or water & in temperatures that are unbearable is cruel & the extreme weather of heat or cold can kill an animal very quickly. As we can all imagine a death like this is anything but painless.

If you or someone you know is in a situation like this, please do the right thing & make arrangements for your pet to be properly cared for....There are options!
