Avoiding the Foreclosed Home Pet Syndrome
Saving money is something most of us like to do. Over time we realize there is a difference between cost and value. One of the things that is a joy to me and many, is friends and pets. Both can go together or be individually enjoyed.

Yes Judy ,it is a sad commentary, but I think in desperate times, people do desperate things. While one can't equate it to things that go in during wars and famines, people are backed to the walls with little choice for survival. While Santa Cruz does not have an participating facility, this is at least some attempt to help seniors and try to get some of those displaced "canine family members" a safe and caring environment. Many little things like this can help people find caring homes. I am sure there are deep emotional wounds, probably worse on the humans than the pets.

I have children, I have grandchildren and I have pets, which are my other children. I always try to understand how people can leave pets behind and even have a hard time dealing with disasters like Katrina. I guess when you have no choice you simply have to follow the rules and hope for the best. But I still can't see ever leaving my "babies" behind for anything! With that said, this is a great post and one I've really not given much thought to, pets being abandoned when people are forced out of homes due to foreclosure. I watch the Animal Planet Animal Control series and it's so sad to see pets abandoned by their owners to starve & die a slow death in a home or tied out in a yard. The only way many of these pets were saved is because of concerned neighbors. Anyone losing their home or the ability to care for their pets should drop them off at the nearest shelter if they can't find a good home for them. At least it gives the animals a chance.
