Foreclosure Pets

Here's a good overview of more "collateral" damage from the housing foreclosure crisis that's occurring throughout the country: Abandoned Foreclosure Pets


There seems to be a lot more people looking for a place to send their pets these days. With most of the animal shelters and rescue groups being full with homeless pets already, it's a bad situation made worse.

This is bringing out the worse in irresponsible people that just abandon their pets when they leave their foreclosed homes, with their left-behind pets locked inside or tied out in the yard without any food or water. . . more tangible proof of how irresponsible and/or just plain ignorant some people are and how the lending institutions pretty much were giving mortgages out to anyone that could walk into the office and sign the papers. . .

For people and organizations looking for help with their foreclosure pets, the American Humane Association (AHA) has posted some helpful information at their website:
