Animals are being dumped as more people lose their homes to foreclosure. Some people are just leaving them behind, starving in a vacant home. Others try to leave them on grazing grounds or open area. Some wild cat colonies are resulting.
Facts are, nobody is thinking about the pet problems associated with the surge of foreclosures. Animal shelters are overflowing and those being foreclosed on seem to say...'I've got myself and my family to worry about...how can I take along a dog or cat'? Many landlords do not allow pets in rentals, and rentals are the only place a foreclosed family can turn to.
In most states, abandoning animals is illegal under anti-cruelty laws but who is out there enforcing these laws?
This is a real problem. The best plan is to plan ahead, but nobody ever plans on losing their home...
